Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    The ancestral deed is thought and done,
    And in a million Edens fall
    A million Adams drowned in darkness,
    For small is great and great is small,
    And a blind seed all.
    Edwin Muir (1887–1959)

    “... But a coarse old man am I,
    I choose the second-best,
    I forget it all awhile
    Upon a woman’s breast.”
    Day-break and a candle end.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
