Bronze Quotes - Page 4

• Our patriotism comes straight from the Romans. This is why French children are encouraged to seek inspiration for it in Corneille. It is a pagan virtue, if these two words are compatible. The word pagan, when applied to Rome, early possesses the significance charged with horror which the early Christian controversialists gave it. The Romans really were an atheistic and idolatrous people; not idolatrous with regard to images made of stone or bronze, but idolatrous with regard to themselves. It is this idolatry of self which they have bequeathed to us in the form of patriotism.

• Fantasmas de melodiosas profecías deliran
  Alrededor de cada lugar donde pisó Apolo;
  Clarines de bronce despiertan, y débilmente resuenan,
  donde hace tiempo hubo una batalla gigante;
  Y, desde el césped, una canción de cuna pasa
  En cada lugar donde durmió el niño Orfeo.
  ¿Sentimos estas cosas? - en ese momento hemos entrado
  En una especie de unidad, y nuestro estado
  es como el de un espíritu flotante. Pero hay
  Enredos más ricos, entusiasmos mucho más
  Más autodestructivos, que conducen, por grados,
  A la intensidad principal: la corona de estos
  Está hecha de amor y amistad, y se asienta en lo alto
  Sobre la frente de la humanidad.

• He could still see the dragon just fine. It was about sixty feet long, snout to tail, its body made of interlocking bronze plates. Its claws were the size of butcher knives, and its mouth was lined with hundreds of dagger-sharp metal teeth. Steam came out of its nostrils. It snarled like a chain saw cutting through a tree.

• Uriah looked better than he did an hour ago--he washed the blood from his mouth, and some of the color returned to his face. I'm struck, suddenly, by how handsome he is-- all his features are proportionate, his eyes dark and lively, his skin bronze-brown. And he has probably always been handsome. Only boys who have been handsome from a young age have that arrogance in their smile. Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles like he is surprised you bothered to look at him from the first place.

• Se preguntó de qué es símbolo una mujer de pie en la escalera, en la sombra, escuchando una música lejana. Si fuera pintor, la pintaría en esa actitud. Su sombrero de fieltro azul resaltaría el bronce de su pelo contra la oscuridad y los paneles oscuros de su falda resaltarían los claros. Música lejana llamaría al cuadro si fuera pintor.

• [Se apresuró a vestirse. Cuando subió a cubierta, los demás ya se habían reunido, todos vestidos a toda prisa excepto el entrenador Hedge, que había hecho la guardia nocturna. La camiseta de Frank de los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Vancouver estaba del revés. Percy llevaba pantalones de pijama y una pechera de bronce, lo cual era una interesante declaración de moda. Hazel tenía el pelo alborotado, como si hubiera atravesado un ciclón, y Leo se había prendido fuego accidentalmente. Su camiseta estaba hecha jirones. Sus brazos echaban humo.

• She led him past the engine room, which looked like a very dangerous, mechanized jungle gym, with pipes and pistons and tubes jutting from a central bronze sphere. Cables resembling giant metal noodles snaked across the floor and ran up the walls. “How does that thing even work?” Percy asked. “No idea,” Annabeth said. “And I’m the only one besides Leo who can operate it.” “That’s reassuring.” “It should be fine. It’s only threatened to blow up once.” “You’re kidding, I hope.” She smiled. “Come on.

• Lords are gold and knights steel, but two links can't make a chain. You also need silver and iron and lead, tin and copper and bronze and all the rest, and those are farmers and smiths and merchants and the like. A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people.

• Miren, señoritas, ya hemos hablado de esto. Ni siquiera recuerdo haber matado a Medusa. ¡No recuerdo nada! ¿No podemos hacer una tregua y hablar de vuestros especiales semanales?". Stheno miró a su hermana con mala cara, algo difícil de hacer con unos colmillos de bronce gigantes. "¿Podemos?

• Todo el Mediterráneo, la escultura, la palma, las cuentas de oro, los héroes barbudos, el vino, las ideas, los barcos, la luz de la luna, las gorgonas aladas, los hombres de bronce, los filósofos... todo ello parece surgir en el sabor agrio y acre de estas aceitunas negras entre los dientes. Un sabor más antiguo que la carne, más antiguo que el vino. Un sabor tan antiguo como el agua fría.

• When the sun shouts and people abound One thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze And the iron age; iron the unstable metal; Steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities Will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. Roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, Then nothing will remain of the iron age And all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem Stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass In the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

• Ah, steeds, steeds, what steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes? Is there a sensitive ear, alert as a flame, in your every fiber? Hearing the familiar song from above, all in one accord you strain your bronze chests and, hooves barely touching the ground, turn into straight lines cleaving the air, and all inspired by God it rushes on!

• It may be that the ignorant man, alone,
  Has any chance to mate his life with life
  That is the sensual, pearly spouse, the life
  That is fluent in even the wintriest bronze.

• En nuestra ciudad hay un lugar secreto donde todavía se pueden ver las estrellas por la noche, aunque parezca mentira. Es el único lugar así que queda, despejado de los cada vez más pequeños rascacielos que se levantan cerca. Es un buen lugar para pasear y hablar en susurros. Siguiendo la pequeña colina que se eleva desde el parque hasta un pequeño claro que domina la estatua del general sin brazos sobre su corcel de bronce, la mayoría de nosotros recordamos más tarde este lugar como el primer sitio donde supimos que podríamos estar enamorados.

• We had our own civilization in Africa before we were captured and carried off to this land. We smelted iron, danced, made music and folk poems; we sculpted, worked in glass, spun cotton and wool, wove baskets and cloth. We invented a medium of exchange, mined silver and gold, made pottery and cutlery, we fashioned tools and utensils of brass, bronze, ivory, quartz, and granite. We had our own literature, our own systems of law, religion, medicine, science, and education.

• When the Dark comes rising six shall turn it back; Three from the circle, three from the track; Wood, bronze, iron; Water, fire, stone; Five will return and one go alone. Iron for the birthday; bronze carried long; Wood from the burning; stone out of song; Fire in the candle ring; water from the thaw; Six signs the circle and the grail gone before. Fire on the mountain shall find the harp of gold Played to wake the sleepers, oldest of old. Power from the Green Witch, lost beneath the sea. All shall find the Light at last, silver on the tree.
