Famous quotes containing the words iron and/or gates:
“Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron,
iron is iron till it is rust.

not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.”

“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)
