Romantic Movement

Famous quotes containing the words romantic and/or movement:

    “Mon Dieu, hear the poet’s prayer.
    The romantic should be here.
    The romantic should be there.
    It ought to be everywhere.
    But the romantic must never remain.
    Mon Dieu, and must never again return.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “I am haunted by interrupted acts,
    introspective as a leper, enchanted
    by a repulsive clew,
    a gross and fugitive movement of the limbs.
    Is this the love that shook the lights to flame?”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
