Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    Where no great fish venture
    nor small fish glitter and dart,
    only the anemones and flower
    of the wild sea-thyme
    cover the silent walls
    of an old sea-city at rest.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “... 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)
