Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or version:

“Why should she give her bounty to the dead?
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?”

“It is never the thing but the version of the thing:
The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
