Master-piece Quotes

If you do not remember while you are writing, it may seem confused to others but actually it is clear and eventually that clarity will be clear, that is what a master-piece is, but if you remember while you are writing it will seem clear at the time to any one but the clarity will go out of it that is what a master-piece is not. (Gertrude Stein)
It was a face, with nothing but the blush To mark it from the sculptured features round : As perfect in its beauty ; but the flush Of earthly warmth and earthly feeling crowned The master-piece of nature ;- that rich gush Was from the heart, which thus a language found, The eloquence of truth and silence ever : - Words, sighs, and smiles deceive, but blushes never.
