Played Prospero

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or prospero:

    It has been played once more. I think you exist only
    To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there
    Or have adopted a different attitude. And the poem
    Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    bringing mental magic to modern armament.
