Deserted Island

Famous quotes containing the words deserted and/or island:

    One man walking a deserted platform;
    Dawn coming, and rain
    Driving across a darkening autumn....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
