Face/metaphor

Famous quotes containing the words face and/or metaphor:

    Such a style,—so diversified and variegated! It is like the face of a country; it is like a New England landscape, with farmhouses and villages, and cultivated spots, and belts of forests and blueberry swamps round about, with the fragrance of shad-blossoms and violets on certain winds.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    —fur-petalled chrysanthemum,
    squirrel-killer—
    is a metaphor only if I
    force him to be one....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
