Famous quotes containing the words age and/or lines:
“For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.”
—Arthur William Edgar O’Shaughnessy (1844–1881)
“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
