Famous quotes containing the word images:

“Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“... I am an instrument in the shape/of a woman trying to translate pulsations/into images for the relief of the body/and the reconstruction of the mind.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“Those images that yet
Fresh images beget,
That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
