Pure State

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or state:

    Thou all sweetness dost enclose
    Like a little world of bliss.
    Beauty guards thy looks: the rose
    In them pure and eternal is.
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Such writing is a sort of mental masturbation.... I don’t mean that he is indecent but viciously soliciting his own ideas into a state which is neither poetry nor anything else but a Bedlam vision produced by raw pork and opium.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
