Famous quotes containing the words elements of, elements and/or poetry:

    In spite of all their kind some elements of worth
    With difficulty persist here and there on earth.

    Barbarisation may be defined as a cultural process whereby an attained condition of high value is gradually overrun and superseded by elements of lower quality.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
