Famous quotes containing the words modified and/or souls:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“So, while their bodies moulder here
Their souls with God himself shall dwell,—
But always recollect, my dear,
That wicked people go to hell.”
—Ann Taylor (1782–1866)
