Billion Times

Famous quotes containing the words billion and/or times:

    Night’s brittle song, silver-thin
    Shatters into a billion fragments
    Of quiet shadows
    At the blaring jazz
    Of a morning sun.
    Frank Marshall Davis (b. 1905)

    All that we did, all that we said or sang
    Must come from contact with the soil, from that
    Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.
    We three alone in modern times had brought
    Everything down to that sole test again,
    Dream of the noble and the beggarman.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
