Famous quotes containing the words art and/or museum:
“Study me then, you who shall lovers be
At the next world, that is, at the next spring:
For I am every dead thing,
In whom love wrought new alchemy.
For his art did express
A quintessence even from nothingness,
From dull privations, and lean emptiness:
He ruined me, and I am re-begot
Of absence, darkness, death: things which are not.”
—John Donne (15721631)
“To look at and properly appreciate the British Museum is the work of a lifetime.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (18261903)
