Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:
“He repelled, a short tale to make,
Fell into a sadness, then into a fast,
Thence to a watch, thence into a weakness,
Thence to a lightness, and by this declension,
Into the madness wherein now he raves.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have finished my combat with the sun;
And my body, the old animal,
Knows nothing more.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
