Famous quotes containing the words line, sheet and/or bronze:
“What comes over a man, is it soul or mind
That to no limits and bounds he can stay confined?

Clear to the Arctic of every living kind.
Why is his nature forever so hard to teach
That though there is no fixed line between wrong and right,
There are roughly zones whose laws must be obeyed?”

“You take the lake. I look and look at it.
I see its a fair, pretty sheet of water.
I stand and make myself repeat out loud
The advantages it has....”

“Both nuns and mothers worship images,
But those the candles light are not as those
That animate a mothers reveries,
But keep a marble or a bronze repose.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
