Famous quotes containing the word breton:

    Come, little boy, and rock asleep;
    Sing lullaby and be thou still;
    I, that can do naught else but weep,
    Will sit by thee and wail my fill:
    God bless my babe, and lullaby
    From this thy father’s quality.
    —Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    Surrealism, n. Pure psychic automatism, by which it is intended to express, whether verbally or in writing, or in any other way, the real process of thought. Thought’s dictation, free from any control by the reason, independent of any aesthetic or moral preoccupation.
    —André Breton (1896–1966)

    Come little babe, come silly soul,
    Thy father’s shame, thy mother’s grief,
    —Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
