Picture

Famous quotes containing the word picture:

“It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and ... my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)

“no picture is made to endure nor to live with
but it is made to sell and sell quickly
with usura, sin against nature,
is thy bread ever more of stale rags
is thy bread dry as paper,”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“But what now grips his fancy is her face,

And how the cunning picture holds her still
At just that smiling instant when her soul,
Grown sweetly faint, and swept beyond control,
Consents to his inexorable will.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
