Route Continues East

Famous quotes containing the words route, continues and/or east:

    “By a route obscure and lonely,
    Haunted by ill angels only,
    Where an eidolon, named Night,
    On a black throne reigns upright,
    I have reached these lands but newly
    From an ultimate dim Thule—
    From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
    Out of space—out of time.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “The past itself, as historical change continues to accelerate, has become the most surreal of subjects—making it possible ... to see a new beauty in what is vanishing.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “Though all the East did quake to hear
    Of Alexander’s dreadful name,
    And all the West likewise did fear
    To hear of Julius Caesar’s fame,”
    —Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)
