Famous quotes containing the words david l, david and/or gunn:

    Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false. The line between serious and spurious scholarship is an easy one to blur, with jargon on your side.
    David Lehman (b. 1948)

    I have found that hollow, which even I had relied on for solid.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Direct me gods, whose changes are all holy,
    To where it flickers deep in grass, the moly:
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
