Shades

Famous quotes containing the word shades:

    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)

    should some limb of the devil
    Destroy the view by cutting down an ash
    That shades the road, or setting up a cottage
    Planned in a government office, shorten his life,
    Manacle his soul upon the Red Sea bottom.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “... 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)
