Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched courters’-and-rabbits’ wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “... 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)
