Temple of Literature

Famous quotes containing the words temple and/or literature:

    The despot’s heel is on thy shore,
    Maryland!
    His torch is at thy temple door,
    Maryland!
    Avenge the patriotic gore
    That flecked the streets of Baltimore,
    And be the battle-queen of yore,
    Maryland! my Maryland!
    James Ryder Randall (1839–1908)

    One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.
