Ancient Chinese

Famous quotes containing the word ancient:

    “Thou art not, Penshurst, built to envious show,
    Of touch or marble; nor canst boast a row
    Of polished pillars, or a roof of gold;
    Thou hast no lantern whereof tales are told,
    Or stair, or courts; but stand’st an ancient pile,”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
