Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or gothic:

    “It might become a wheel spoked red and white
    In alternate stripes converging at a point
    Of flame on the line, with a second wheel below,
    Just rising, accompanying, arranged to cross,
    Through weltering illuminations, humps
    Of billows, downward, toward the drift-fire shore.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
