Simplon Orient Express

Famous quotes containing the words orient and/or express:

    Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
    When June is past, the fading rose;
    For in your beauty’s orient deep
    These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.

    Ask me no more whither do stray
    The golden atoms of the day;
    For in pure love heaven did prepare
    Those powders to enrich your hair.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    We but half express ourselves, and are ashamed of that divine idea which each of us represents.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
