Famous quotes containing the words marshall and/or grant:

    Slowly the night blooms, unfurling
    Flowers of darkness, covering
    The trellised sky, becoming
    A bouquet of blackness
    —Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)

    The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
