Rich Countries

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or countries:

“See where she comes, and smell how all the street,
Breathes vineyards and pomegranates: oh, how sweet!
As a fired altar is each stone,
Perspiring pounded cinnamon.
The phoenix-nest,
Built up of odours, burneth in her breast.
Who therein would not consume
His soul to ash-heaps in that rich perfume,”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
