Famous quotes containing the words wax and/or moths:
“Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber’s wax dummy is to sculpture.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“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)
