Famous quotes containing the word brooks:

    But could a dream send up through onion fumes
    Its white and violet, fight with fried potatoes
    And yesterday’s garbage ripening in the hall,
    Flutter, or sing an aria down these rooms
    Even if we were willing to let it in,
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    ... Live!/and have your blooming in the noise of the whirlwind.
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    My idea is that the world outside—the so-called modern world—can only pervert and degrade the conceptions of the primitive instinct of art and feeling, and that our only chance is to accept the limited number of survivors—the one- in-a-thousand of born artists and poets—and to intensify the energy of feeling within that radiant centre.
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
