Text Recall

Famous quotes containing the words text and/or recall:

    I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.
    Umberto Eco (b. 1932)

    “Why wouldn’t it scare me to have a fire
    Begin in smudge with ropy smoke, and know
    That still, if I repent, I may recall it,
    But in a moment not: a little spurt
    Of burning fatness, and then nothing but
    The fire itself can put it out, and that
    By burning out....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
