Central Rounded Vowel

Famous quotes containing the words central, rounded and/or vowel:

    For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.
    Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    The rounded world is fair to see,
    Nine times folded in mystery.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Brute animals have the vowel sounds; man only can utter consonants.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
