English National Ballet - Dancers

Famous quotes containing the word dancers:

“Look. And the dancers move
On the departed, snow bushed green, wanton in moon light
As a dust of pigeons. Exulting, the grave hooved
Horses, centaur dead, turn and tread the drenched white
Paddocks in the farms of birds. The dead oak walks for love.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“The dancers crowded about him
And many a sweet thing said,
And a young man brought him red wine
And a young girl white bread.”
—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,”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
