Famous quotes containing the word images:

    We picked each other from afar and knew
    What hour of terror comes to test the soul,
    And in that terror’s name obeyed the call,
    And understood, what none have understood,
    Those images that waken in the blood.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... I am an instrument in the shape/of a woman trying to translate pulsations/into images for the relief of the body/and the reconstruction of the mind.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls.
    Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
