Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or roman:
“Neither by night’s ancient fear,
The parting of hat from hair,
Pursed lips at the receiver,
Shall I fall to death’s feather.
By these I would not care to die,
Half convention and half lie.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“How can I, that girl standing there,
My attention fix
On Roman or on Russian
Or on Spanish politics?”
