Wax Crayons

Famous quotes containing the words wax and/or crayons:

    “We too had many pretty toys when young;
    A law indifferent to blame or praise,
    To bribe or threat; habits that made old wrong
    Melt down, as it were wax in the sun’s rays;
    Public opinion ripening for so long
    We thought it would outlive all future days.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “With crayons the child draws a rigid house
    and a winding pathway. Then the child
    puts in a man with buttons like tears”
    —Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
