Human Figures

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or figures:

“It is the human season on this sterile air
Do words outcarry breath the sound goes on and on.
I hear a dead man’s cry from autumn long since gone.

I cry to you beyond upon his bitter air.”

“The figures of the past go cloaked.
They walk in mist and rain and snow
And go, go slowly, but they go.”
