Pan Lost

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or lost:

    I can’t accept “our nervous age,” since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
    Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
    Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
    For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
    The comfort that you made?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
