Famous quotes containing the words symbolic and/or algebra:
“An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,
An acre of stony ground,
Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
