Daylight World

Famous quotes containing the words daylight and/or world:

    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)

    It is a peculiar sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s self through the eyes of others, of measuring one’s soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
