Small Candle

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or candle:

    These are the small townsmen of death,
    A man and a woman, like two leaves
    That keep clinging to a tree,
    Before winter freezes and grows black....
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    I choose the second-best,
    I forget it all awhile
    Upon a woman’s breast.”
