Cloak/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words cloak and/or metaphor:

    Freedom’s secret wilt thou know?—
    Counsel not with flesh and blood;
    Loiter not for cloak or food;
    Right thou feelest, rush to do.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    By metaphor you paint
    A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
    A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
    To be served by men of ice.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
