Portal Stone

Famous quotes containing the words portal and/or stone:

    “Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,
    In childhood, many an idle stone—
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
    It was the dead who groaned within.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “Too long a sacrifice
    Can make a stone of the heart.
    O when may it suffice?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
