Wooden Dome

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or dome:

    All of our lives is a rebus
    Of little wooden animals painted shy,
    Terrific colors, magnificent and horrible,
    Close together.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Thus to him, to this school-boy under the bending dome of day, is suggested, that he and it proceed from one root; one is leaf and one is flower; relation, sympathy, stirring in every vein. And what is that Root? Is not that the soul of his soul?—A thought too bold,—a dream too wild.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
