Famous quotes containing the words res and/or stages:
“The poem is the cry of its occasion,
Part of the res itself and not about it.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
