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....”

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.”
