Close Encounters

Famous quotes containing the words close and/or encounters:

“Their legs long, delicate and slender, aquamarine their eyes,
Magical unicorns bear ladies on their backs.
The ladies close their musing eyes. No prophecies,
Remembered out of Babylonian almanacs,
Have closed the ladies’ eyes, their minds are but a pool
Where even longing drowns under its own excess....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Death’s an old joke, but each individual encounters it anew.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
