Holy Places

Famous quotes containing the words holy and/or places:

    I myself saw furious with blood
    Neoptolemus, at his side the black Atridae,
    Hecuba and the hundred daughters, Priam
    Cut down, his filth drenching the holy fires.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    The places we have known do not only belong to the world of space in which we situate them for the sake of simplicity. They were but a thin slice between contiguous impression which formed our lives back then; the memory of a certain image is but the regret of a certain instant; and the houses, the roads, the avenues are fleeting, alas! as the years.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
