Sacred Bones

Famous quotes containing the words sacred and/or bones:

“Whenever a mind is simple and receives an old wisdom, old things pass away,—means, teachers, texts, temples fall; it lives now, and absorbs past and future into present hour. All things are made sacred by relation to it,—one as much as another.”

“Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.”
