Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or delphi:

    “Certainly for us of the modern world, with its conflicting claims, its entangled interests, distracted by so many sorrows, so many preoccupations, so bewildering an experience, the problem of unity with ourselves in blitheness and repose, is far harder than it was for the Greek within the simple terms of antique life. Yet, not less than ever, the intellect demands completeness, centrality.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “At Delphi I prayed
    to Apollo
    that he maintain in me
    the flame of the poem
    and I drank of the brackish
    spring there....”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
