Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or macaulay:

    ...the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel.
    Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 32:6.

    Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.
    —Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
