Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:

    “My companion and I, having a minute’s discussion on some point of ancient history, were amused by the attitude which the Indian, who could not tell what we were talking about, assumed. He constituted himself umpire, and, judging by our air and gesture, he very seriously remarked from time to time, “you beat,” or “he beat.””
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Hieratic, slim and fair,
    the tracery written here,
    proclaims what’s left unsaid
    in Egypt of her dead.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
