Trance/divination

Famous quotes containing the words trance and/or divination:

    “My trance frightens them,
    breaks the dance,
    empties the market-place;
    if I but pass they fall
    back, frantically.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “The whole world is an omen and a sign. Why look so wistfully in a corner? Man is the Image of God. Why run after a ghost or a dream? The voice of divination resounds everywhere and runs to waste unheard, unregarded, as the mountains echo with the bleatings of cattle.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
