Famous quotes containing the words house and/or earth:
“You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,
Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The earth yields up her stores, of every ill
The instigators; iron, foe to man,
And gold, than iron deadlier.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
