Famous quotes containing the words find and/or twelve:
“So much of truth, only under an ancient obsolete vesture, but the spirit of it still true, do I find in the Paganism of old nations. Nature is still divine, the revelation of the workings of God; the Hero is still worshipable: this, under poor cramped incipient forms, is what all Pagan religions have struggled, as they could, to set forth.”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“But the twelve lie in the sand by the dry rock
Seeing nothingthe sand, the tree, rocks
Without numberand turn away the face
To the minds briefer and more desert place.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
