Phantoms

Famous quotes containing the word phantoms:

    How cold the vacancy
    When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
    First sees reality. The mortal no
    Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep—
    He hath awakened from the dream of life—
    ‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
    With phantoms an unprofitable strife.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    Feign then what’s by a decent tact believed
    And act that state is only so conceived,
    And build an edifice of form
    For house where phantoms may keep warm.
    William Empson (1906–1984)
