Fits/images

Famous quotes containing the words fits and/or images:

“What I behold are feverish fits of strife,
‘Twixt fears of dying and desire of life:”
—George Crabbe (1754–1832)

“The base of all artistic genius is the power of conceiving humanity in a new, striking, rejoicing way, of putting a happy world of its own creation in place of the meaner world of common days, of generating around itself an atmosphere with a novel power of refraction, selecting, transforming, recombining the images it transmits, according to the choice of the imaginative intellect. In exercising this power, painting and poetry have a choice of subject almost unlimited.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
