Famous quotes containing the words spirit and/or rider:
“One swiftly forgets his intolerable writing, his mirthless, sedulous, repellent manner, in the face of the Athenian tragedy he instills into his seduced and soul-sick servant girls, his barbaric pirates of finances, his conquered and hamstrung supermen, his wives who sit and wait. He has, like Conrad, a sure talent for depicting the spirit in disintegration.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The sun that leaps on petals through a nought,
The come a-cropper rider of the flower.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
