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)

    “As for the nights I warn you the nights are dangerous
    The wind changes at night and the dreams come

    It is very cold
    there are strange stars near Arcturus

    Voices are crying an unknown name in the sky”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
