Fast Fading

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or fading:

    Who liveth by the ragged pine
    Foundeth a heroic line;
    Who liveth in the palace hall
    Waneth fast and spendeth all.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Opinion is not worth a rush;
    In this altar-piece the knight,
    Who grips his long spear so to push
    That dragon through the fading light,
    Loved the lady; and it’s plain
    The half-dead dragon was her thought....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
