Star Winding

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or winding:

“I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Man is the shuttle, to whose winding quest
And passage through these looms
God ordered motion, but ordained no rest.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
