Coarse Salt Company

Famous quotes containing the words coarse, salt and/or company:

    Worldly faces never look so worldly as at a funeral. They have the same effect of grating incongruity as the sound of a coarse voice breaking the solemn silence of night.

    Unquiet wanderer
    Draw the Glasnevin coverlet anew
    About your head till the dust stops your ear,
    The time for you to taste of that salt breath
    And listen at the corners has not come;
    You had enough of sorrow before death—
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    More company increases happiness, but does not lighten or diminish misery.
    Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
