Je Vis Pour

Famous quotes containing the words vis and/or pour:

    “As to “Don Juan,” confess ... that it is the sublime of that there sort of writing; it may be bawdy, but is it not good English? It may be profligate, but is it not life, is it not the thing? Could any man have written it who has not lived in the world? and tooled in a post-chaise? in a hackney coach? in a Gondola? against a wall? in a court carriage? in a vis a vis? on a table? and under it?”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “Too late in the wrong rain
    They come together whom their love parted:
    The windows pour into their heart
    And the doors burn in their brain.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
