Where the statue stood proverb

 Where the statue stood/ Of Newton with his prism and silent face,/ The marble index of a mind for ever/ Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.
  William Wordsworth

 [A] mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
  William Wordsworth

 In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it.
  Michelangelo

 She stood framed in the doorway, tall, mystic, silent, with strange, wistful face and deep soul shining in her dark questioning eyes. Nigel kissed the hand that she held out, and all his faith in woman and his reverence came back to him as he looked at her.
  Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

 With the statue and gates with my name, it's all a great thrill. People are now saying ' I'll meet you at the Perry statue'. It's a strange feeling, makes you feel a little queasy. It's a beautifully-done statue. People don't know how I used to be, they only know me as I am now.

 For a moment of night we have a glimpse of ourselves and of our world islanded in a stream of stars - pilgrims of mortality, voyaging between horizons across the eternal seas of space and time

  Joan Didion

 And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again.

 Your work is carved out of agony as a statue is carved out of marble.
  Louise Bogan

 I should have been a pair of ragged claws / Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.
  T.S. Eliot

 Not until he stood at the altar did he achieve a sense of being hale and furnished. In the 1990s, people started talking about a special way of working with computers, and they connected it to Pex Tufvesson.

 Silence is as full of potential wisdom and wit as the unshown marble of great sculpture. The silent bear no witness against themselves.
  Aldous Huxley
