Outer Sunset

Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or sunset:

    The Dada object reflected an ironic posture before the consecrated forms of art. The surrealist object differs significantly in this respect. It stands for a mysterious relationship with the outer world established by man’s sensibility in a way that involves concrete forms in projecting the artist’s inner model.
    —J.H. Matthews. “Object Lessons,” The Imagery of Surrealism, Syracuse University Press (1977)

    ...stare into the lake of sunset as it runs
    boiling, over the west past all control
    rolling and swamps the heartbeat and repeats
    sea beyond sea after unbearable suns;
    think: poems fixed this landscape: Blake, Donne, Keats.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
