Orion quotes

  • Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

    -Bible (Old Testament)
    Job 38:31.

  •    The wonderful Southernnight-sky that makes a manfeel so lonely, alien: with Orion standing on his head in the west, and his sword-belt upside down, and his Dog-star prancing in mid-heaven, high above him; and with the Southern Cross insignificantly mixed in with the other stars, democratically inconspicuous.

    - D(avid) H(erbert) Lawrence
      Of night over Sydney. Kangaroo, ch.1.
