Shapes

Famous quotes containing the word shapes:

“For life is but a dream whose shapes return,
Some frequently, some seldom, some by night
And some by day,”

As there are shapes in nature.”

“No, no; but as in my idolatry
I said to all my profane mistresses,
Beauty, of pity, foulness only is
A sign of rigour: so I say to thee,
To wicked spirits are horrid shapes assign’d,
This beauteous form assures a piteous mind.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
