Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    One need not be a great beau, a seductive catch, to do it effectively. Any man is better than none. To shrink from giving so much happiness at such small expense, to evade the business on the ground that it has hazards—this is the act of a puling and tacky fellow.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Not to die on the straw at home,
    Those hands to close these eyes,
    That is all I ask, my dear,
    From the old man in the skies.”
    Day-break and a candle end.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
