Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or egypt:
“Under bare Ben Bulbens head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“There is no Champollion to decipher the Egypt of every mans and every beings face. Physiognomy, like every other human science, is but a passing fable.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
