Famous quotes containing the words discrete, rings and/or fields:

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.

    Of child, and wife, and slave; but evermore

    Weary the wandering fields of barren foam.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
