Family Comets

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or comets:

    —the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
    and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
    colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
    and, lulled within, a family with pets,
    —and looked and looked our infant sight away.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    When beggars die there are no comets seen;
    The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
