Dancing Patterns

Famous quotes containing the words dancing and/or patterns:

    “What was dancing to you then?
    We went from the high gate away
    To a black hill the other side of men
    Where one wild stag stared
    At the going day.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    “One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
    —Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
