Mixed Grand Lodge

Famous quotes containing the words mixed, grand and/or lodge:

    What an antithetical mind!—tenderness, roughness—delicacy, coarseness—sentiment, sensuality—soaring and grovelling, dirt and deity—all mixed up in that one compound of inspired clay!
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The grand style is available now only in old poems, museums, and parodies.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.
    —David Lodge (b. 1935)
