Dark Wheel

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or wheel:

    Lovers of horses and of women, shall
    From marble of a broken sepulchre
    Or dark betwixt the polecat and the owl,
    Or any rich, dark nothing disinter
    The workman, noble and saint, and all things run
    On that fashionable gyre again.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Helpless, unknown, and unremembered, most human beings, however sensitive, idealistic, intelligent, go through life as passengers rather than chauffeurs. Although we may pretend that it is the chauffeur who is the social inferior ... most of us, like Toad of Toad Hall, would not mind a turn at the wheel ourselves.
    Ralph Harper (b. 1915)
