Dancers

Famous quotes containing the word dancers:

    “Proclaiming what choices there are
    For the last dancers of their kind,

    For ill women and for all slaves
    Of death,”
    —James Dickey (b. 1923)

    “The dancers crowded about him
    And many a sweet thing said,
    And a young man brought him red wine
    And a young girl white bread.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I have forgiven all the old actors for dying.
    A new one comes on with the same lines,
    like large white growths, in his mouth.
    The dancers come on from the wings,
    perfectly mated.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
