Famous quotes containing the words virgil and/or hamlet:
“To me this world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination, and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other book? Is it not because they are addressed to the imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but mediately to the understanding or reason?”
—William Blake (17571827)
“They know that Hamlet and Lear are gay;
Gaiety transfiguring all that dread.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
