Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or temple:
“I summon to the winding ancient stair;
Set all your mind upon the steep ascent,”

“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)
