Seer Stones

Famous quotes containing the words seer and/or stones:

“Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told: somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas: sometimes with chisel on stone; sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul’s worship is builded; sometimes in anthems of indefinite music; but clearest and most permanent, in words.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
