Famous quotes containing the words dorothea and/or gates:
“The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock-bound coast,”
—Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
“We’ve cracked the hemispheres with careless hand!
Now, from the Gates of Hercules we flood
Westward, westward till the barbarous brine
Whelms us to the tired world where tasseling corn,
Fat beans, grapes sweeter than muscadine
Rot on the vine: in the land were we born.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
