Famous quotes containing the words egyptian and/or museum:

    “He will to his Egyptian dish again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
    rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
    ...
    I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
    a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
    People want to push the buttons and see me glow.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
