Sunk Galleries

Famous quotes containing the words sunk and/or galleries:

    Remember all those renowned generations,
    Remember all that have sunk in their blood,
    Remember all that have died on the scaffold,
    Remember all that have fled, that have stood,
    Stood, took death like a tune
    On an old tambourine.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
