Candles

Famous quotes containing the word candles:

But those the candles light are not as those
That animate a mother’s reveries,
But keep a marble or a bronze repose.”

Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.”

Is comelier than candles at Mother Mary’s feet.”
