Adams Cowley

Famous quotes containing the words adams and/or cowley:

    I am an anarchist in politics and an impressionist in art as well as a symbolist in literature. Not that I understand what these terms mean, but I take them to be all merely synonyms of pessimist.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Thy soul and body, when death’s agony
    Besieged around thy noble heart,
    Did not with more reluctance part
    Than I, my dearest Friend, do part from thee.
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
