Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or china:
“A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
A famous high top-hat and plain worn shawl
Make him the quaint great figure that men love,
The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.”
—Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)
“The roof of England fell
Great Paris tolled her bell
And China staunched her milk and wept for bread”
