Famous quotes containing the words lionel and/or tate:

    frog pond ...
    a leaf falls in
    without a sound
    —Bernard Lionel Einbond (b. 1937)

    But the twelve lie in the sand by the dry rock
    Seeing nothing—the sand, the tree, rocks
    Without number—and turn away the face
    To the mind’s briefer and more desert place.
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
