Famous quotes containing the words meridian and/or east:

    to these
    Hale dead and deathless do the women of the hill
    Love for ever meridian through the courters’ trees
    And the daughters of darkness flame like Fawkes fires still.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense.... He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.
    Vance Palmer (1885–1959)
