Assumed Powers

Famous quotes containing the words assumed and/or powers:

    Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.
    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

    The Powers whose name and shape no living creature knows
    Have pulled the Immortal Rose;
    And though the Seven Lights bowed in their dance and wept,
    The Polar Dragon slept,
    His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering deep to deep....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
