Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:
“Yknow, George, I feel that in a small way were doing something important. Its satisfying a fundamental urge. Its deep in the race for a man to want his own roof and walls and fireplace. And were helping him get those things in our shabby little office.”

“The yellow pool has overflowed high up on Clooth-na-Bare,
For the wet winds are blowing out of the clinging air;
Like heavy flooded waters our bodies and our blood;
But purer than a tall candle before the Holy Rood
Is Cathleen, the daughter of Houlihan.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
