Famous quotes containing the word motion:

    “subways, rivered under streets
    and rivers . . . in the car
    the overtone of motion
    underground, the monotone
    of motion is the sound
    of other faces, also underground—”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “I dunno what my 23 infantile years in America signify. I left as soon as motion was autarchic—I mean my motion.”
    —Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    “Thence, flow! conceit and motion to rehearse
    Pastoral terrors of youth still in the man,
    Torsions of sleep, in emblematic verse
    Rattling like dice unless the verse shall scan
    All chance away....”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)
