Feet Optical Base

Famous quotes containing the words feet, optical and/or base:

    Our dried voices, when
    We whisper together
    Are quiet and meaningless
    As wind in dry grass
    Or rats’ feet over broken glass
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    There is an optical illusion about every person we meet.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Were I as base as is the lowly plain,
    And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
    Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
    Ascend to heaven in honour of my love.
    Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)
