Vie En Rose

Famous quotes containing the words vie and/or rose:

    With the old kindness, the old distinguished grace,
    She lies, her lovely piteous head amid dull red hair
    Propped upon pillows, rouge on the pallor of her face.
    She would not have us sad because she is lying there,
    And when she meets our gaze her eyes are laughter-lit,
    Her speech a wicked tale that we may vie with her....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I quite agree with you. The sun is not kind. God should use a rose amber spot.
    Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
