Famous quotes containing the words image and/or gallery:
“the focused beam
folds all energy in:
the image glares filling all space:
the head falls and
hangs and cannot wake itself.”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
