Ring History

Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or history:

    “Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
    And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.”
    —Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    “The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
