Warm Reading

Famous quotes containing the words warm and/or reading:

    if she were lacking all grace
    they’d pass her in silence:
    so it’s not only to say she’s
    a warm hole.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.
    Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
