Famous quotes containing the words wistful and/or vista:
“I never saw a man who looked
With such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Which prisoners call the sky.”

“Softly, in the dusk, a woman is singing to me;
Taking me back down the vista of years, till I see
A child sitting under the piano, in the boom of the tingling strings
And pressing the small, poised feet of a mother who smiles as she
sings.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
