Spread Greek

Famous quotes containing the words spread and/or greek:

“[Allegory] should ... be very sparingly practised, lest, whilst the writer plays with his own fancies and diverts himself by cutting the air with his wide spread wings, he should soar out of view of his readers, leaving them in confusion and perplexity to explore his viewless track.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“The decline of a culture
Mourned by scholars who dream of the ghosts of Greek boys.”
