Alley Award Popularity

Famous quotes containing the words alley, award and/or popularity:

    In the mind there is a thin alley called death
    and I move through it as
    through water.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.
    Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
