Gates

Famous quotes containing the word gates:

    Human life, old and young, takes place between hope and remembrance. The young man sees all the gates to his desires open, and the old man remembers—his hopes.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    There’s freedom at thy gates and rest
    For Earth’s downtrodden and oppressed,
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)

    We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
    Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood

    Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
    Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
    Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
    Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
