Famous quotes containing the word gates:

    “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)
