Eden

Famous quotes containing the word eden:

“For sometimes it is shown to me in dreams
The Eden that all wish to recreate
Out of their living, from their favourite times;
The miraculous play where all their dead take part,
Once more articulate....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“Is Eden out of time and out of space?
And do you gather about us when pale light
Shining on water and fallen among leaves,
And winds blowing from flowers, and whirr of feathers
And the green quiet, have uplifted the heart?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.”
—Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
