Ancient World

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or world:

    Here is the ancient floor,
    Footworn and hollowed and thin
    Here was the former door
    Where the dead feet walked in.

    She saw in the rainbow the earth’s new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven.
