Famous quotes containing the words foam and/or weapon:

    Only the white, tremendous foam of the street has any importance,
    The new white flowers that are beginning to shoot up about now.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The aim of poetry, it appears, is to fill the mind with lofty thoughts—not to give it joy, but to give it a grand and somewhat gaudy sense of virtue. The essay is a weapon against the degenerate tendencies of the age. The novel, properly conceived, is a means of uplifting the spirit; its aim is to inspire, not merely to satisfy the low curiosity of man in man.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
