Quotation

- Coucher de soleil
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines
- Sur un lit de nuages roux:
- Son sang, par la bouche des trous,
- S'éjacule en rouges fontaines.
- Les rameaux convulsifs des chênes
- Flagellent les horizons fous;
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines
- Sur un lit de nuages roux:
- Comme, après les hontes romaines,
- Un débauché plein de dégoûts
- Laissant jusqu'aux sales égouts
- Saigner ses artères malsaines,
- Le Soleil s'est ouvert les veines!

Famous quotes containing the word quotation:
“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The habit some writers indulge in of perpetual quotation is one it behoves lovers of good literature to protest against, for it is an insidious habit which in the end must cloud the stream of thought, or at least check spontaneity. If it be true that le style c’est l’homme, what is likely to happen if l’homme is for ever eking out his own personality with that of some other individual?”
—Dame Ethel Smyth (1858–1944)
