Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or mythology:

    The Roman Road runs straight and bare
    As the pale parting-line in hair
    Across the heath.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
