Famous quotes containing the words tales, perilous and/or realm:

    Among the Indians he had fought;
    And with him many tales he brought
    Of pleasure and of fear;
    Such tales as told to any Maid
    By such a Youth, in the green shade,
    Were perilous to hear.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The very form, the very scent,
    not heavy, not sensuous,
    but perilous perilous
    of orchids, piled in a great sheath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    What is an artist? A provincial who finds himself somewhere between a physical reality and a metaphysical one.... It’s this in-between that I’m calling a province, this frontier country between the tangible world and the intangible one—which is really the realm of the artist.
    Frederico Fellini (b. 1920)
