Thunderstorm/mythology

Famous quotes containing the words thunderstorm and/or mythology:

“Yet, Freedom! yet thy banner, torn, but flying,
Streams like the thunderstorm against the wind.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
