Living Corals

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or corals:

    At bottom there is in Joyce a profound hatred for humanity—the scholar’s hatred. One realizes that he has the neurotic’s fear of entering the living world, the world of men and women in which he is powerless to function. He is in revolt not against institutions, but against mankind.... Ulysses is like a vomit spilled by a delicate child whose stomach has been overloaded with sweetmeats.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Dry as a tomb, your coloured lids
    Shall not be latched while magic glides
    Sage on the earth and sky;
    There shall be corals in your beds,
    There shall be serpents in your tides,
    Till all our sea-faiths die.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
