Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    “In the small circle of pain within the skull
    You still shall tramp and tread one endless round
    Of thought, to justify your action to yourselves,
    Weaving a fiction which unravels as you weave,
    Pacing forever in the hell of make-believe
    Which never is belief: this is your fate on earth
    And we must think no further of you.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    ““... I have what no young man can have
    Because he loves too much.
    Words I have that can pierce the heart,
    But what can he do but touch?”
    Day-break and a candle end.
    ”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
