Famous quotes containing the word modern:

    “We Irish, born into that ancient sect
    But thrown upon this filthy modern tide
    And by its formless spawning fury wrecked,
    Climb to our proper dark, that we may trace
    The lineaments of a plummet-measured face.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
