Famous quotes containing the words lie, algebra and/or valued:
“I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
He turned up his eyes
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
Holy & meek she cries—
As soon as I went
An angel came.
He wink’d at the thief
And smild at the dame—
And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d the lady.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“Poetry has become the higher algebra of metaphors.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“A person far from home is not valued highly, but goods imported from afar are.”
