Smoke Test

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or test:

    O women, kneeling by your altar-rails long hence,
    When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
    And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
    And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
    Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.
    Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
