Famous quotes containing the words feet and/or fixed:
“Our loss put six feet under ground
Is measured by the magnolias root;
Our gains the intellectual sound
Of deaths feet round a weedy tomb.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
“It is not merely the likeness which is precious ... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing ... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I thinkand it is not at all monstrous in me to say ... that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artists work ever produced.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (18061861)
