National Place

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or place:

“The national anthem belongs to the eighteenth century. In it you find us ordering God about to do our political dirty work.”

“a place in the world’s core,
Where passion grows to be a changeless thing,
Like charmèd apples made of chrysoprase,
Or chrysoberyl, or beryl, or chrysolite;
And there, in juggleries of sight and sense,
Become one movement, energy, delight....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
