Famous quotes containing the words live and/or performances:
“old Death, dusty
gardener, are you
alive yet, do I live on
yet, in your gray
considering eye?”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“At one of the later performances you asked why they called it a “miracle,”
Since nothing ever happened. That, of course, was the miracle
But you wanted to know why so much action took on so much life
And still managed to remain itself, aloof, smiling and courteous.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
