Famous quotes containing the words square and/or prismatic:
“Rationalists, wearing square hats,
Think, in square rooms,
Looking at the floor,
Looking at the ceiling.
They confine themselves
To right-angled triangles.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“Then a small rainbow like a trellis gate,
A very small moon-made prismatic bow,
Stood closely over us through which to go.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
