Books

Famous quotes containing the word books:

“She is foremost of those that I would hear praised.
I will talk no more of books or the long war
But walk by the dry thorn until I have found
Some beggar sheltering from the wind, and there
Manage the talk until her name come round.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Only in books the flat and final happens,
Only in dreams we meet and interlock....”
