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)

“Time flies like an arrow; the days and nights alternate as fast as a weaver’s shuttle.”
