“While all the pomp and circumstance of war animated others, it only saddened me; and all of past reflection, all of future dread, made the whole grandeur of the martial scene, and all the delusive seduction of martial music, fill my eyes frequently with tears.” MadeWarWholeEyePastTearsCircumstancesSceneReflectionDreadSeductionAnimatedGrandeurMilitarismSaddened Book:Complete Works of Frances Burney (Delphi Classics) Source: Complete Works of Frances Burney (Delphi Classics)
“There is nothing “still” in the remarkably visceral poems of Alexander Long's third collection, Still Life, and nothing is at rest in these restless and edgy poems. Conversational and kinetic, these poems chart the traces left by the shifting overlays of the templates of literature, rock-and-roll, and contemporary culture. As each poem in Still Life attempts to fix a focus upon a scene or subject, the protean natures under view draw the poet into the eddies and complexities of reflection. This is a powerful and moving collection of poems.” LongStillsMovingCultureLiteratureLeftViewsPowerfulFocusSubjectsRocksPoetSceneDrawsReflectionThirdsContemporaryComplexityCollectionsRock And RollRestlessShiftingEdgyVisceralStill Life Author:David St. John

“Within a single scene, it seems to be unwise to have access to the inner reflections of more than one character. The reader generally needs a single character as the means of perception, as the character to whom the events are happening, as the character with whom he is to empathize in order to have the events of the writing happen to him.” NeedsWritingMeanCharacterSeemsHappensOrderEventsReaderScenePerceptionEmpathyHappeningsReflectionAccessApathyUnwise Author:John Ciardi
“At night... the streets become rhythmical perspectives of glowing dotted lines, reflections hung upon them in the streets as the wistaria hangs its violet racemes on its trellis. The buildings are shimmering verticality, a gossamer veil, a festive scene-prop hanging there against the black sky to dazzle, entertain, amaze.” NightBlackLinesSkyStreetsNew YorkBuildingPerspectiveSceneReflectionHungVeilsVioletGlowingPropsDazzleFestive Author:Frank Lloyd Wright
“The landscape is a reflection of the inner life. Since I can't shoot the inner life, all I can shoot is the exterior but I know that when I'm filming outside, I'm filming inside. I can only really touch the inside through the mise-en-scene. So through the mise-en-scene of the outside we can explore the inside” KnowsI CanSceneReflectionLandscapeInner LifeExterior Author:Bruno Dumont
“My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters, who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall - what's going to happen in this scene, or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary, sloppy reflection of who I am.” CharacterFeelingsHappensPiecesWallScenePaperReflectionDown AndScaryWho I AmNovelistsSloppyGreatest Fear Author:Jonathan Safran Foer
