Famous quotes containing the words persian and/or painters:

    Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “Were not all her life but storm,
    Would not painters paint a form
    Of such noble times ...”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
