Undefined Symbols

Famous quotes containing the words undefined and/or symbols:

    That undefined and mingled hum,
    Voice of the desert never dumb!
    James Hogg (1770–1835)

    The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
