External Sense

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or sense:

“A tempest cracked on the theatre. Quickly,
The wind beat in the roof and half the walls.
The ruin stood still in an external world.
It had been real. It was something overseas
That I remembered, something that I remembered
Overseas, that stood in an external world.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“You did not sense the wings beyond the gate;
you could not see,
you could not touch and feel,
actually the sea-sand
and the sea-shell.”
