Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

    Rhyme and meter force gaps in meaning so the muse can enter.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    To lose sensibility, to see what one sees,
    As if sight had not its own miraculous thrift,
    To hear only what one hears, one meaning alone,
    As if the paradise of meaning ceased
    To be paradise, it is this to be destitute.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
