Famous quotes containing the words visitor and/or centre:

    “Beauty is ever to the lonely mind
    A shadow fleeting; she is never plain.
    She is a visitor who leaves behind
    The gift of grief, the souvenir of pain.”
    —Robert Nathan (1894–1985)

    “Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
    Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
    And in that state, the glass is a pool.
    Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
    When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
