Daylight Left

Famous quotes containing the words daylight and/or left:

    Come praise Colonus’ horses, and come praise
    The wine-dark of the wood’s intricacies,
    The nightingale that deafens daylight there,
    If daylight ever visit where,
    Unvisited by tempest or by sun....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am secretly afraid of animals.... I think it is because of the usness in their eyes, with the underlying not-usness which belies it, and is so tragic a reminder of the lost age when we human beings branched off and left them: left them to eternal inarticulateness and slavery. Why? their eyes seem to ask us.
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)
