Dancers Face

Famous quotes containing the words dancers and/or face:

“Proclaiming what choices there are
For the last dancers of their kind,

For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)

“Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
