Late Minoan

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or minoan:

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    The Minoan Snake Goddess is flanked by a Chardin still-life, somber
    and tranquil, and by Mohammedan angels
    brilliantly clothed and with multicolored wings....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
