Famous quotes containing the words egypt and/or summer:
“It is evident, from their method of propagation, that a couple of cats, in fifty years, would stock a whole kingdom; and if that religious veneration were still paid them, it would, in twenty more, not only be easier in Egypt to find a god than a man, which Petronius says was the case in some parts of Italy; but the gods must at last entirely starve the men, and leave themselves neither priests nor votaries remaining.”
—David Hume (17111776)
“Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winters best of all;
And after that theres nothing good
Because the spring-time has not come....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
