Famous quotes containing the word text:

    “What our eyes behold may well be the text of life but one’s meditations on the text and the disclosures of these meditations are no less a part of the structure of reality.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “If ever I should condescend to prose,
    I’ll write poetical commandments, which
    Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
    That went before; in these I shall enrich
    My text with many things that no one knows,
    And carry precept to the highest pitch:
    I’ll call the work ‘Longinus o’er a Bottle,
    Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.’”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.”
    —Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
