Famous quotes containing the words real and/or cacophony:
“The things of this world reveal their essential absurdity when they are put in the Venetian context. In the unreal realm of the canals, as in a Swiftian Lilliput, the real world, with its contrivances, appears as a vast folly.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“O wily painter, limiting the scene
From a cacophony of dusty forms
To the one convulsion,”
