Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:
“Life is not at all what you might think it to be
A simple tale where each thing has its history
It’s much more than its scuffle and anything goes
Both evil and good, subject to the same laws.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
The entire combustible world in one small room
As though dried straw, and if we turn about
The bare chimney is gone black out
Because the work had finished in that flare.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
