Famous quotes containing the word symbolic:

    An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
    A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,
    An acre of stony ground,
    Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
    Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The act of bellringing is symbolic of all proselytizing religions. It implies the pointless interference with the quiet of other people.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
