Term Cathedral

Famous quotes containing the words term and/or cathedral:

    In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. Hence the term abandonment, to describe the self-surrender of the orator.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ... the first cathedral you see remains with you forever as the cathedral of the world.
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
