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)

    I remember
    a dream two nights ago: the voice,
    ‘the artist must
    create himself or be born again.’
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
