Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or season:

    “Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.”
    —Don Marquis (1878–1937)

    “When I read a story, I relive the moment from which it sprang. A scene burned itself into me, a building magnetized me, a mood or season of Nature’s penetrated me, history suddenly appeared to me in some tiny act, or a face had begun to haunt me before I glanced at it.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
