Famous quotes containing the words medieval and/or prose:

“The medieval town, with frieze
Of boy scouts from Nagoya?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.”
