Core Wound

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or wound:

“True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“‘I shall be one with nature, herb, and stone’,
Shelley would tell me. Shelley wound be stunned:

The dullest Tommy hugs that fancy now.
‘Pushing up daisies’ is their creed, you know.”
