Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or arts:
“Who
Are you
Who is born
In the next room
So loud to my own
That I can hear the womb
Opening and the dark run...?”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Poetry, and Picture, are Arts of a like nature; and both are busie about imitation. It was excellently said of Plutarch, Poetry was a speaking Picture, and Picture a mute Poesie. For they both invent, faine, and devise many things, and accommodate all they invent to the use, and service of nature. Yet of the two, the Pen is more noble, than the Pencill. For that can speake to the Understanding; the other, but to the Sense.”
—Ben Jonson (1573–1637)
