Famous quotes containing the word figure:
“And they lie like wedges,
Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end,
And are a figure of the way the strong
Of mind and strong of arm should fit together,
One thick where one is thin and vice versa.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

A fixèd figure for the time of scorn
To point his slow unmoving finger at!”
