Eastern Block

Famous quotes containing the words eastern and/or block:

“The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.”

“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
