Famous quotes containing the words works, print and/or japanese:

    “‘Tis too plain that with the material power the moral progress has not kept pace. It appears that we have not made a judicious investment. Works and days were offered us, and we took works.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare
    And left the flushed print in a poppy there.”
    —Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    “In fact, the whole of Japan is a pure invention. There is no such country, there are no such people.... The Japanese people are ... simply a mode of style, an exquisite fancy of art.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
