Original Pier

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or pier:

“It is conventional to call “monster” any blending of dissonant elements.... I call “monster” every original inexhaustible beauty.”

“Duccio came not by usura
nor Pier della Francesca; Zuan Bellin’ not by usura
nor was ‘La Calunnia’ painted.
Came not by usura Angelico; came not Ambrogio Praedis,
Came no church of cut stone signed: Adamo me fecit.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
