Sacred Circle Art

Famous quotes containing the words sacred, circle and/or art:

    “See how the sacred old flamingoes come,
    Painting with shadow all the marble steps:
    Aged and wise, they seek their wonted perches
    Within the temple, devious walking, made
    To wander by their melancholy minds.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “It was my heaven’s extremest sphere,
    The pale which held that lovely deer;
    My joy, my grief, my hope, my love,
    Did all within this circle move!”
    —Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    “To “give style” to one’s character—a rare and noble art! Those practice it who compass all that their natures present as strengths and weaknesses and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one appears as art and reason and even weakness enchants the eye.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
