Plan Dome

Famous quotes containing the words plan and/or dome:

    Fix’d like a plan on his peculiar spot,
    To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
    As the swift seasons roll!
    Leave thy low-vaulted past!
    Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
    Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
    Till thou at length art free,
    Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
