Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or roman:
“A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl
Make him the quaint great figure that men love,
The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
“How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?”
