Chinese Dragon Body

Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or body:

    And then at last our bliss
    Full and perfect is,
    But now begins; for from this happy day
    The old Dragon underground,
    In straiter limits bound,
    Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
    And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
    Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Therefore we value the poet. All the argument and all the wisdom is not in the encyclopedia, or the treatise on metaphysics, or the Body of Divinity, but in the sonnet or the play.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
