Verbal Roots Beginning

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

    The “text” is merely one of the contexts of a piece of literature, its lexical or verbal one, no more or less important than the sociological, psychological, historical, anthropological or generic.
    Leslie Fiedler (b. 1917)

    Sprung from the West,
    He drank the valorous youth of a new world.
    The strength of virgin forests braced his mind,
    The hush of spacious prairies stilled his soul.
    His words were oaks in acorns; and his thoughts
    Were roots that firmly gript the granite truth.
    Edwin Markham (1852–1940)

    In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
