Famous quotes containing the words island and/or nights:
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Wild Nights—Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
