Famous quotes containing the words lump and/or form:

    A sparrow enters the tree,
    Whereon immediately
    A snow lump thrice his own slight size
    Descends on him and showers his head and eyes,
    And overturns him,
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    I can’t work without a model. I won’t say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
    Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)
