quotations about antiquity
The Irish and the English and the Scottish and the Welsh
A damp and misty history, they're keeping to themselves
I'll often talk antiquity and smoldering descent
Invisible division, behind a wall and not a fence
ROBERT PLANT
"Carving Up the World Again ... a wall and not a fence"
Remove not the ancient landmark.
KING SOLOMON
Proverbs 22:28
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
And our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn't even exist
It was just an ideal, is it such a surprise?
ELVIS COSTELLO
"All This Useless Beauty"
Though antiquity was not forgotten, it was, in some sense, overpassed.
HOWARD B. WHITE
Antiquity Forgot
