Famous quotes containing the words symbolic, meaning and/or ships:
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon.

—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“These pictures of time;
They fade in the light of
Their meaning sublime.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The northern sky rose high and black

Happily or unhappily....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
