Century Concrete Stile

Famous quotes containing the words century, concrete and/or stile:

“When her husband clutches at her dress,
she lowers her face,
her modesty aroused.
When he wants a wild embrace,
she shyly secrets away
her limbs.
She can’t say a word
and bestows her gaze
on her beaming friends.
A new wife suffers
with shame
the first time she makes love.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“Experience and imagination must enter into the very constitution of our thoughts involving concrete individuals.”
—Zeno Vendler (b. 1921)
