Visual Blind Bidding

Famous quotes containing the words visual, blind and/or bidding:

    The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    But the star-glistered salver of infinity,
    The circle, blind crucible of endless space,
    Is sluiced by motion,—subjugated never.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    A simple and independent mind does not toil at the bidding of any prince.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
