Return Favour

Famous quotes containing the words return and/or favour:

“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

“It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favour of vegetarianism, while the wolf remains of a different opinion.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)
