Mode Shape

Famous quotes containing the words mode and/or shape:

“Curiously enough, it seems to be only in describing a mode of language which does not mean what it says that one can actually say what one means.”

“somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
