Ancient Reef

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or reef:

“An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,
An acre of stony ground,
Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Striking his former happiness against the reef of justice he has perished unwept for and unseen.”
