Famous quotes containing the words dial and/or sight:
“A man is reputed to have thought and eloquence; he cannot, for all that, say a word to his cousin or his uncle. They accuse his silence with as much reason as they would blame the insignificance of a dial in the shade. In the sun it will mark the hour. Among those who enjoy his thought, he will regain his tongue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If you would keep your soul
From spotted sight or sound,
Live like the velvet mole;
Go burrow underground.”
—Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)
