Famous quotes containing the word dancers:
“I have forgiven all the old actors for dying.
A new one comes on with the same lines,
like large white growths, in his mouth.
The dancers come on from the wings,
perfectly mated.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Proclaiming what choices there are
For the last dancers of their kind,
For ill women and for all slaves
Of death,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
“So the Platonic Year
Whirls out new right and wrong,
Whirls in the old instead;
All men are dancers and their tread
Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
