Faint

Famous quotes containing the word faint:

    The morning comes to consciousness
    Of faint stale smells of beer
    From the sawdust-trampled street
    With all its muddy feet that press
    To early coffee-stands.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
    That almost freezes up the heat of life.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    After Stéphane Mallarmé, after Paul Verlaine, after Gustave Moreau, after Puvis de Chavannes, after our own verse, after all our subtle colour and nervous rhythm, after the faint mixed tints of Conder, what more is possible? After us the Savage God.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
