Famous quotes containing the words bronze, age and/or lamps:

But those the candles light are not as those
That animate a mother’s reveries,
But keep a marble or a bronze repose.”

—Simone De Beauvoir (1908–1986)
“The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”
