Ultimate Length

Famous quotes containing the words ultimate and/or length:

“... the attempt to control poetry, to subordinate it to extrapoetic ends, constitutes misuse.... it may be poetry’s stubborn quality of rockbottom, intrinsic uselessness which ... constitutes the guarantee of its integrity, and hence of its ultimate value to us.”

“At length upon the lone Chorasmian shore
He paused, a wide and melancholy waste
Of putrid marshes.”
