Focus Distance

Famous quotes containing the words focus and/or distance:

“Carlyle is not a seer, but a brave looker-on and reviewer; not the most free and catholic observer of men and events, for they are likely to find him preoccupied, but unexpectedly free and catholic when they fall within the focus of his lens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Letters to absence can a voice impart,
And lend a tongue when distance gags the heart.”
