Banquet Scene

Famous quotes containing the words banquet and/or scene:

    The sanity of the average banquet speaker lasts about two and a half months; at the end of that time he begins to mutter to himself, and calls out in his sleep.
    James Thurber (1894–1961)

    An age is the reversal of an age:
    When strangers murdered Emmet, Fitzgerald, Tone,
    We lived like men that watch a painted stage.
    What matter for the scene, the scene once gone:
    It had not touched our lives.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
