Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or mitchell:
“There were ghosts that returned to earth to hear his phrases,
As he sat there reading, aloud, the great blue tabulae.
They were those from the wilderness of stars that had expected more.
There were those that returned to hear him read from the poem of life,
Of the pans above the stove, the pots on the table, the tulips among them.
They were those that would have wept to step barefoot into reality....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“My pet, the world can forgive practically anything except people who mind their own business.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)
