Frank Templeton Prince

Famous quotes containing the words templeton prince, frank templeton, frank, templeton and/or prince:

    All’s pathos now. The body that was gross,
    Rank, ravenous, disgusting in the act or in repose,
    All fever, filth and sweat, its bestial strength
    And bestial decay, by pain and labour grows at length
    Fragile and luminous.
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)

    For that rage, that bitterness, those blows,
    That hatred of the slain, what could it be
    But indirectly or directly a commentary
    On the Crucifixion?
    Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)

    The reputation of a man is like his shadow; it sometimes follows and sometimes precedes him, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter than his natural size.
    —French Proverb. Quoted in Dictionary of Similes, ed. Frank J. Wilstach (1916)

    And even we must know, that nobody has understood,
    That some great love is over all we do,
    And that is what has driven us to this fury, for so few
    Can suffer all the terror of that love:
    —Frank Templeton Prince (b. 1912)

    The prince was getting tired.
    He began to feel like a shoe salesman.
    But he gave it one last try.
    This time Cinderella fit into the shoe
    like a love letter into its envelope.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
