Ancient Sea Kings

Famous quotes containing the words ancient, sea and/or kings:

    Take a timber
    That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
    Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
    For a doorsill or other corner piece
    In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
    The life is not yet all gone out of it.
    And come and make your summer dwelling here....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    SWEENEY:
    Nothing to eat but the fruit as it grows.
    Nothing to see but the palmtrees one way
    And the sea the other way,
    Nothing to hear but the sound of the surf.
    Nothing at all but three things
    DORIS: What things?
    SWEENEY: Birth, and copulation, and death.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, much less this house that I have built!
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 8:27.

    Solomon at the dedication of the temple.
