Flickering Flame

Famous quotes containing the words flickering and/or flame:

    The trouble is that no devastating or redeeming fires have ever burnt in my life.... My life began by flickering out.
    Ivan Goncharov (1812–1891)

    I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
    We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
    And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
    Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
