Famous quotes containing the words conventional and/or pulse:
“Westminster Abbey is nature crystallized into a conventional form by man, with his sorrows, his joys, his failures, and his seeking for the Great Spirit. It is a frozen requiem, with a nation’s prayer ever in dumb music ascending.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“The motor idles.
Over the immense upland
the pulse of their blossoming
thunders through us.”
