Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!”

—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“What is the use of “good” painting? We want a spell cast upon the optical part of our existence! We seldom really see the world, but when we do, we become as still as a picture.”
