Famous quotes containing the words triple and/or crown:
“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 (18031882)
“It grazes the horizons, launched above
Mortalityascending emerald-bright,
A fountain at salute, a crown in view”
—Hart Crane (18991932)
