Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:

    “An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
    A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,
    An acre of stony ground,
    Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
    Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There is no Champollion to decipher the Egypt of every man’s and every being’s face. Physiognomy, like every other human science, is but a passing fable.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
