Famous quotes containing the word marble:

    where the Statue stood

    The marble index of a Mind for ever
    Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    Light
    Flashed from his matted head and marble feet,
    He grappled at the net
    With the coiled, hurdling muscles of his thighs:
    The corpse was bloodless, a botch of reds and whites,
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
