Famous quotes containing the words temple, feathered and/or serpent:

    If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    None of the feathered race has yet realized my youthful conceptions of the woodland depths.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The mirror-scalèd serpent is multiplicity,
    But all that run in couples, on earth, in flood or air, share God that is but three,
    And could beget or bear themselves could they but love as He.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
