Warm Place

Famous quotes containing the words warm and/or place:

    An American cannot converse, but he can discuss, and his talk falls into a dissertation. He speaks to you as if he was addressing a meeting; and if he should chance to become warm in the discussion, he will say “Gentlemen” to the person with whom he is conversing.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    The poem is lonely. It is lonely and en route. Its author stays with it. Does this very fact not place the poem already here, at its inception, in the encounter, in the mystery of encounter?
    Paul Celan [Paul Antschel] (1920–1970)
