Roses/art

Famous quotes containing the words roses and/or art:

“But all its chief delight was still
On Roses thus its self to fill:
And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
Had it liv’d long it would have been
Lillies without, Roses within.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

“True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them.”
