Dancers

Famous quotes containing the word dancers:

    “The dancers crowded about him

    And a young girl white bread.”

    Whirls out new right and wrong,
    Whirls in the old instead;
    All men are dancers and their tread
    Goes to the barbarous clangour of a gong.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

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

    For ill women and for all slaves
    Of death,”
