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;”

“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.”
