Western Artists

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or artists:

    “But go, and if you listen she will call,
    Go to the western gate, Luke Havergal—
    Luke Havergal.”
    —Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    “of artists dying in childbirth, wise-women charred at the stake,
    centuries of books unwritten piled behind these shelves;
    and we still have to stare into the absence
    of men who would not, women who could not, speak
    to our life—this still unexcavated hole
    called civilization, this act of translation, this half-world.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
