Eden Told

Famous quotes containing the words eden and/or told:

    “Is Eden out of time and out of space?
    And do you gather about us when pale light
    Shining on water and fallen among leaves,
    And winds blowing from flowers, and whirr of feathers
    And the green quiet, have uplifted the heart?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “O but there is wisdom
    In what the sages said;
    But stretch that body for a while
    And lay down that head
    Till I have told the sages
    Where man is comforted.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
