Glorious Gate

Famous quotes containing the words glorious and/or gate:

    Fill high the bowl with Samian wine!
    Our virgins dance beneath the shade—
    I see their glorious black eyes shine;
    But gazing on each glowing maid,
    My own the burning tear-drop laves,
    To think such breasts must suckle slaves.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    And we, barely recalled from sleep there, sense
    Arrivals lowing in a doleful distance
    Horny dilemmas at the gate once more.
    Come and choose wrong, they cry, come and choose wrong....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
