Large Blue Caterpillar

Famous quotes containing the words large, blue and/or caterpillar:

    Any novel of importance has a purpose. If only the “purpose” be large enough, and not at outs with the passional inspiration.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows
    In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
    Before the children green and golden
    Follow him out of grace.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    That author who draws a character, even though to common view incongruous in its parts, as the flying-squirrel, and, at different periods, as much at variance with itself as the caterpillar is with the butterfly into which it changes, may yet, in so doing, be not false but faithful to facts.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
