Actual Pulse

Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or pulse:

“Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-ordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized?... A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“She needs no man,
herself
is that dart and pulse of the male,
hands, feet, thighs,
herself perfect.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
