Famous quotes containing the words hamilton and/or island:

    “The anthropologists are busy, indeed, and ready to transport us back into the savage forest where all human things ... have their beginnings; but the seed never explains the flower.”
    —Edith Hamilton (1867–1963)

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
