Famous quotes containing the words yield and/or surface:
“Your hand
skilled to yield death-blows, might break
With the slightest turn no ill will meant
my own lesser, yet still somewhat fine-wrought,
fiery-tempered, delicate, over-passionate steel.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitoryof the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (18211867)
