Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or indian:
“We Irish, born into that ancient sect
But thrown upon this filthy modern tide
And by its formless spawning fury wrecked,
Climb to our proper dark, that we may trace
The lineaments of a plummet-measured face.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I was happy there,
part Venetian vase,
part Swiss watch, part Indian head.”
