Fast Fading

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or fading:

    We hear eagerly every thought and word quoted from an intellectual man. But in his presence our own mind is roused to activity, and we forget very fast what he says.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    This is the dead land
    This is cactus land
    Here the stone images
    Are raised, here they receive
    The supplication of a dead man’s hand
    Under the twinkle of a fading star.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
