Renaissance/spread

Famous quotes containing the words renaissance and/or spread:

    People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    A feme may come, leaf-green,
    Whose coming may give revel
    Beyond revelries of sleep,
    Yes, and the blackbird spread its tail,
    So that the sun may speckle,
    While it creaks hail.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
