Famous quotes containing the words close and/or vowels:
“The Danaan children laugh, in cradles of wrought gold,
And clap their hands together, and half close their eyes,
For they will ride the North when the ger-eagle flies,
With heavy whitening wings, and a heart fallen cold....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“These equal syllables alone require,
Though oft the ear the open vowels tire;”
