Concrete Element

Famous quotes containing the words concrete and/or element:

“Every concrete object
has abstract value, is timeless
in the dream parallel.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory—of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
