Famous quotes containing the words disperse and/or red:

    Either disperse these mists, which blot and fill
    My perspective, still, as they pass:
    Or else remove me hence unto that hill
    Where I shall need no glass.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.
