Empty Shape

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shape:

    Moving, you roll down the garment,
    down that pink snapper and hoarder,
    as your belly, soft as pudding,
    slops into the empty space....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Caught by the spectacle my mind turned round
    As with the might of waters; an apt type
    This label seemed of the utmost we can know,
    Both of ourselves and of the universe;
    And, on the shape of that unmoving man,
    His steadfast face and sightless eyes, I gazed,
    As if admonished from another world.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
