Empty Shape

Famous quotes containing the words empty and/or shape:

    Poetry
    Exceeding music must take the place
    Of empty heaven and its hymns....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Surely among a rich man’s flowering lawns,
    Amid the rustle of his planted hills,
    Life overflows without ambitious pains;
    And rains down life until the basin spills,
    And mounts more dizzy high the more it rains
    As though to choose whatever shape it wills....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
