Wax Moths

Famous quotes containing the words wax and/or moths:

    Lucretius
    Sings his great theory of natural origins and of wise conduct; Plato
    smiling carves dreams, bright cells
    Of incorruptible wax to hive the Greek honey.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)

    Has no one said those daring
    Kind eyes should be more learn’d?
    Or warned you how despairing
    The moths are when they are burned?
    I could have warned you; but you are young,
    So we speak a different tongue.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
