Famous quotes containing the word carlos:

    “One by one objects are defined—
    It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

    But now the stark dignity of
    entrance—Still, the profound change
    has come upon them: rooted, they
    grip down and begin to awaken”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
