Crone Aspect

Famous quotes containing the words crone and/or aspect:

    “Uplift those eyes and throw
    Those glances unafraid:
    She would as bravely show
    Did all the fabric fade;
    No withered crone I saw
    Before the world was made.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
