Famous quotes containing the words desert and/or volumes:
“The change of Philomel, by the barbarous king
So rudely forced; yet there the nightingale
Filled all the desert with inviolable voice
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
“Jug Jug” to dirty ears.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“And let a scholar all earth’s volumes carry,
He will be but a walking dictionary:
A mere articulate clock.”
—George Chapman (1559–1634)
