Lovers

Famous quotes containing the word lovers:

    All that time denied
    Grave is heaped on grave
    That they be satisfied
    Over the blackened earth
    The old troops parade....””

    “A woman’s beauty is a storm-tossed banner;
    Under it wisdom stands, and I alone
    Of all Arabia’s lovers I alone
    Nor dazzled by the embroidery, nor lost
    In the confusion of its night-dark folds,
    Can hear the armed man speak.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Their heads being turned with praise and flattery;
    And that is why their lovers are afraid
    To tell them a plain story.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
