Famous quotes containing the words grand and/or middle:
“The grand style follows suit with all great passion. It disdains to please, it forgets to persuade. It commands. It wills.”

The middle twenties,
When deftness disappears,
And each event is
Freighted with a source-encrusting doubt,
And turned to drought.”
