Variety Night

Famous quotes containing the words variety and/or night:

    In the tale proper—where there is no space for development of character or for great profusion and variety of incident—mere construction is, of course, far more imperatively demanded than in the novel.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    What brought them there so far from their home,
    Cuchulain that fought night long with the foam,
    What says the Clock in the Great Clock Tower?
    Niamh that rode on it; lad and lass
    That sat so still and played at the chess?
    What but heroic wantonness?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
