Yvonne Korshak
“But  Phidias was better than most men since he made beautiful sculptures. He was even making one of her—well, he called it “Athena,” but anyone could see it looked like her.”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

J.R.R. Tolkien
“and all was healed and made good, and the houses were filled with men and women and the laughter of children, and no window was blind nor any courtyard empty;
and after the ending of the Third Age of the world into the new age it preserved the memory and the glory of the years that were gone.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
