Secondary Pleasures

Famous quotes containing the words secondary and/or pleasures:

    Cloud-clown, blue painter, sun as horn,
    Hill-scholar, man that never is,
    The bad-bespoken lacker,
    Ancestor of Narcissus, prince
    Of the secondary men. There are no rocks
    And stones, only this imager.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    As near and far as grass,
    Where eyes become the sunlight, and the hand
    Is worthy of water: the dreamt land
    Toward which all hungers leap, all pleasures pass.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
