“Your arrows may strike all things else, Apollo, but mine shall strike you.”
― Bulfinch's Mythology
― Bulfinch's Mythology
“Alas! For shame," said Sir Launcelot, "that ever one knight should betray another! But it is an old saw, a good man is never in danger, but when he is in danger of a coward.”

“So near the track of the stars are we,
That oft, on night's pale beams,
The distant sounds of their harmony
Come to our ears, like dreams.
The Moon, too, brings her world so nigh,
That when the night-seer looks
To that shadowless orb, in a vernal sky,
He can number its hills and brooks.
To the Sun god all our hearts and lyres,
By day, by night, belong;
And the breath we draw from his living fires
We give him back in song,”
― Bulfinch's Mythology

He can number its hills and brooks.
To the Sun god all our hearts and lyres,

And the breath we draw from his living fires
