Mid Autumn Festival

Famous quotes containing the words mid, autumn and/or festival:

    “There, on the mountain and the sky,
    On all the tragic scene they stare.
    One asks for mournful melodies;
    Accomplished fingers begin to play.
    Their eyes mid many wrinkles, their eyes,
    Their ancient, glittering eyes, are gay.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And plenitude of plan shall not suffice
    Nor grief nor love shall be enough alone
    To ratify my little halves who bear
    Across an autumn freezing everywhere.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
