Ancient Greeks

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or greeks:

    Neither by night’s ancient fear,
    The parting of hat from hair,
    Pursed lips at the receiver,
    Shall I fall to death’s feather.
    By these I would not care to die,
    Half convention and half lie.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The Greeks have snatched up their spears.
    They have pointed the helms of their ships
    Toward the bulwarks of Troy.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
