Ancient Dragon

Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or dragon:

    It takes place ... always without permanent form, though ancient and familiar as the sun and moon, and as sure to come again.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
