Famous quotes containing the words local and/or folklore:
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artists relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artists concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“So, too, if, to our surprise, we should meet one of these morons whose remarks are so conspicuous a part of the folklore of the world of the radioremarks made without using either the tongue or the brain, spouted much like the spoutings of small whaleswe should recognize him as below the level of nature but not as below the level of the imagination.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
