Greece3 quotes
Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe · 1819Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth!
Immortal, though no more; though fallen, great! — Lord Byron · 1818The isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set. — Lord Byron · 1821Classical antiquity2 quotes
