Verbal Roots Beginning

Famous quotes containing the words verbal, roots and/or beginning:

    Language fails not because thought fails, but because no verbal symbols can do justice to the fullness and richness of thought. If we are to continue talking about “data” in any other sense than as reflective distinctions, the original datum is always such a qualitative whole.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)

    April is the cruellest month, breeding
    Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
    Memory and desire, stirring
    Dull roots with spring rain.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Firm in our beliefs without dismay,
    In any game the nations want to play.
    A golden age of poetry and power
    Of which this noonday’s the beginning hour.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
