External Lines

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or lines:

“The manifestation of poetry in external life is formal perfection. True sentiment grows within, and art must represent internal phenomena externally.”

Through the vest which seems to hide them;
As the radiant lines of morning
Through the clouds ere they divide them;
And this atmosphere divinest
Shrouds thee wheresoe’er thou shinest.”
