Famous quotes containing the words stars, league, member and/or clubs:
“Then, that no region of the universe
Should remain void of life, the floor of heaven
Was peopled with the stars and godlike forms,
The seas became the abode of glittering fish.
Earth took the beasts and mobile air the birds.
A holier animal was wanting.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
