Tale Finished

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)
