Prismatic Block

Famous quotes containing the words prismatic and/or block:

“Bribed with a little sunlight and a few prismatic tints, we bless our Maker, and stave off his wrath with hymns.”

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
