Famous quotes containing the words inarticulate and/or speech:
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
