Famous quotes containing the words abstract, target and/or meaning:
“Some ghosts are women,
neither abstract nor pale,
their breasts as limp as killed fish.”

“But this we know, the obstacle that checked
And tripped the body, shot the spirit on
Further than target ever showed or shone.”

“To lose sensibility, to see what one sees,
As if sight had not its own miraculous thrift,
To hear only what one hears, one meaning alone,
As if the paradise of meaning ceased
To be paradise, it is this to be destitute.”
