It is quite cruel that a poet cannot wander through his regions of enchantment without having a critic, forever, like the old man of the sea, upon his back Picture Quote #1

And you, enchantment, worthy enough a herdsman - yea, him too, that makes himself, but for our honor therein, unworthy thee - if ever henceforth thou these rural latches to his entrance open, or hoop his body more with thy embraces, I will devise a death as cruel for thee as thou art tender to't Picture Quote #1

But the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes Picture Quote #1

It happens to us once or twice in a lifetime to be drunk with some book which probably has some extraordinary relative power to intoxicate us and none other; and having exhausted that cup of enchantment we go groping in libraries all our years afterwards in the hope of being in Paradise again Picture Quote #1

The sight of nature fascinates, the family tie has a sweet enchantment and patriotism gives the religious spirit a fiery devotion to the powers that it reveres Picture Quote #1

We have a need for enchantment that is as deep and devoted as our need for food and water Picture Quote #1

I thought: pity the poor in spirit who know neither the enchantment nor the beauty of language Picture Quote #1

Whoever is devoid of the capacity to wonder, whoever remains unmoved, whoever cannot contemplate or know the deep shudder of the soul in enchantment, might just as well be dead for he has already closed his eyes upon life Picture Quote #1

Everything a cat is and does physically is to me beautiful, lovely, stimulating, soothing, attractive and an enchantment Picture Quote #1

Perfume opens endless horizons. It appeals both to the senses and to the imagination. Like an enchantment, it works on an instinctive level and at the same time is extremely subtle Picture Quote #1

From the very fountain of enchantment there arises a taste of bitterness to spread anguish amongst the flowers Picture Quote #1

The spectacle we find in true religions has as its purpose enchantment, not entertainment. The distinction is critical. By endowing things with magic, enchantment is a means through which we may gain access to sacredness. Entertainment is the means through which we distance ourselves from it Picture Quote #1

I have always felt it a great privilege to be in the theater, and I am grateful to all the playwrights who have given me so many wonderful roles. It’s a terrifying business, but it has its compensations. Where else could I have found someone who for 50 years has given me sheer enchantment? Picture Quote #1

Like the sorcerer of old, the television set casts its magic spell, freezing speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts. The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces, although there is danger there, as in the behavior it prevents: the talks, the games, the family festivities... through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which his character is formed. Turning on the television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people Picture Quote #1

In alarming proportions the following words have disappeared from architectural publications: beauty, inspiration, magic, sorcery, enchantment, and also serenity, mystery, silence, privacy, astonishment. All of these have found a loving home in my soul Picture Quote #1

I was always fascinated by fairy stories, fantasy, you know, demons, necromancers, gods and goddesses, everything that is out of our kin and out of our everyday world. I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am Picture Quote #1
