Triple Conjunction Mars

Famous quotes containing the words triple, conjunction and/or mars:

    And DANTE searched the triple spheres,
    Moulding nature at his will,
    So shaped, so colored, swift or still,
    And, sculptor-like, his large design
    Etched on Alp and Apennine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    He turned out to belong to the type of publisher who dreams of becoming a male muse to his author, and our brief conjunction ended abruptly upon his suggesting I replace chess by music and make Luzhin a demented violinist.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    The sword’s a cross; thereon He died:
    On breast of Mars the goddess sighed.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
