Peter Di Salvo

Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or salvo:

    The concept of a person is logically prior to that of an individual consciousness. The concept of a person is not to be analysed as that of an animated body or an embodied anima.
    —Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)

    Old heavens, you used to tweak above us,
    Standing like rain whenever a salvo . . . Old heavens,
    You lying there above the old, but not ruined, fort,
    Can you hear, there, what I am saying?
    For it is you I am parodying,
    Your invisible denials.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
