Erect Statues

Famous quotes containing the words erect and/or statues:

    Let us erect in the Basin a lofty fountain.
    Suckled on ponds, the spirit craves a watery mountain.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    And are not men than they more blind,
    Who having eyes yet never find
    The bliss in which they move:
    Like statues dead
    They up and down are carried,
    Yet neither see nor love.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
