Famous quotes containing the word scene:

“The poem of the mind in the act of finding
What will suffice. It has not always had
To find: the scene was set; it repeated what
Was in the script.

To something else. Its past was a souvenir.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“The scene of suffering is a scene of joy when the suffering is past; and the silent reminiscence of hardships departed, is sweeter than the presence of delight.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
