Classical Hebrew

Famous quotes containing the words classical and/or hebrew:

“Several classical sayings that one likes to repeat had quite a different meaning from the ones later times attributed to them.”

“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.

And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
