Fade

Famous quotes containing the word fade:

    Be near me when I fade away,
    To point the term of human strife,
    And on the low dark verge of life
    The twilight of eternal day.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    There is no death! The leaves may fall,
    And flowers may fade and pass away—
    They only wait, through wintry hours,
    The warm, sweet breath of May.
    John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

    A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves—in full bloom or as they fade away.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
