Famous quotes containing the words ancient and/or rome:

    “Neither by night’s ancient fear,
    The parting of hat from hair,
    Pursed lips at the receiver,
    Shall I fall to death’s feather.
    By these I would not care to die,
    Half convention and half lie.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
