The Tables of the Law QUOTES

1 " Some mediæval straw-splitting about the nature of the Trinity, which is only useful to-day to show how many things are unimportant to us, which once shook the world "

― W.B. Yeats , The Tables of the Law

2 " ...the Byzantine style, which so few care for to-day, but which moves me because these tall, emaciated angels and saints seem to have less relation to the world about us than to an abstract pattern of flowing lines that suggest an imagination absorbed in the contemplation of Eternity. "

― W.B. Yeats , The Tables of the Law
