Famous quotes containing the words christmas, night and/or stars:
“Moving between the legs of tables and of chairs,
Rising or falling, grasping at kisses and toys,
Advancing boldly, sudden to take alarm,
Retreating to the corner of arm and knee,
Eager to be reassured, taking pleasure
In the fragrant brilliance of the Christmas tree....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“The night is a skin pulled over the head of day that the day may be in torment.”
—Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)
“I, too, await
The hour of thy great wind of love and hate.
When shall the stars be blown about the sky,
Like the sparks blown out of a smithy, and die?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
