Ancient Temple

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or temple:

    I summon to the winding ancient stair;
    Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    But what we gain’d in Skill we lost in Strength.
    Our Builders were with Want of Genius curst;
    The second Temple was not like the first;
    Till you, the best Vitruvius, come at length,
    Our Beauties equal, but excel our Strength.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
