Famous quotes containing the words circle and/or symbol:
“And year by year our memory fades
From all the circle of the hills.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
