Spoken Meccan Dialect

Famous quotes containing the words spoken and/or dialect:

“Artists broken against her,
Astray, lost in the villages,
Mistrusted, spoken against,
Lovers of beauty, starved,
Thwarted with systems,
Helpless against the control;”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

“The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs no dictionary, but is understood all the world over.”
