Famous quotes containing the words narrative and/or voice:

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “And then the voice again: “You seem afraid.
    I saw by the way you whipped up the horse.
    I’ll just come forward in the lantern-light
    And let you see.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
