Dice Thrown

Famous quotes containing the words dice and/or thrown:

    Thence, flow! conceit and motion to rehearse
    Pastoral terrors of youth still in the man,
    Torsions of sleep, in emblematic verse
    Rattling like dice unless the verse shall scan
    All chance away....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Irrational streams of blood are staining earth;
    Empedocles has thrown all things about;
    Hector is dead and there’s a light in Troy;
    We that look on but laugh in tragic joy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
