Fade

Famous quotes containing the word fade:

    A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves—in full bloom or as they fade away.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
    We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
    And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
    Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And when you sigh from kiss to kiss
    I hear white Beauty sighing, too,
    For hours when all must fade like dew....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
