Shades

Famous quotes containing the word shades:

    The thing about Proust is his combination of the utmost sensibility with the utmost tenacity. He searches out these butterfly shades to the last grain. He is as tough as catgut and as evanescent as a butterfly’s bloom.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    Fair is my Love, and cruel as she’s fair
    Her brow shades frowns, although her eyes are sunny;
    Her smiles are lightning, though her pride despair;
    And her disdains are gall, her favours honey.
    A modest maid, decked with a blush of honour,
    Whose feet do tread green paths of youth and love,
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    “... So it’s plain to be discerned
    That the shades of holy men
    Who have failed, being weak of will,
    Pass the Door of Birth again,
    And are plagued by crowds, until
    They’ve passion to escape.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
