Fade

Famous quotes containing the word fade:

“One by one they appear in
the darkness: a few friends, and
a few with historical
names. How late they start to shine!
but before they fade they stand
perfectly embodied,”
—Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

“These pictures of time;
They fade in the light of
Their meaning sublime.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“For the most part we think that there are few degrees of sublimity, and that the highest is but little higher than that which we now behold; but we are always deceived. Sublimer visions appear, and the former pale and fade away.”
