Island Nights

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or nights:

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “That woman’s days were spent
    In ignorant good-will,
    Her nights in argument
    Until her voice grew shrill.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
