Venice Pier

Famous quotes containing the words venice and/or pier:

    “I have been oranging and fat,
    carrot colored, gaped at,
    allowing my cracked o’s to drop on the sea

    Over Maine I have rested.”

    “Duccio came not by usura
    nor Pier della Francesca; Zuan Bellin’ not by usura
    nor was ‘La Calunnia’ painted.
    Came not by usura Angelico; came not Ambrogio Praedis,
    Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
