Famous quotes containing the words tale and/or finished:
“Once more La Traviata sighs
Another sadder song:
Once more Il Trovatore cries
A tale of deeper wrong;”
—Alfred Noyes (1880–1958)
“... until the shopkeeper plants his boot in our eyes,
and unties our bone and is finished with the case,
and turns to the next customer, forgetting our face
or how we knelt at the yellow bulb with sighs
like moth wings for a short while in a small place.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
