Famous quotes containing the word master:
“Such thought such though have I that hold it tight
Till meditation master all its parts,
Nothing can stay my glance
Until that glance run in the world’s despite
To where the damned have howled away their hearts,
And where the blessed dance....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
