Famous quotes containing the words north, celestial and/or pole:
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky?

“He all their ammunition
And feats of war defeats
With plain heroic magnitude of mind
And celestial vigour armed;”

Sempiternal though sodden towards sundown,
Suspended in time, between pole and tropic.”
