Famous quotes containing the words ear and/or candles:
“And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth if it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten;”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
“O heart the winds have shaken, the unappeasable host
Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary’s feet.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
