Famous quotes containing the word fade:
“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;

Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)

To point the term of human strife,
And on the low dark verge of life
The twilight of eternal day.”
