Famous quotes containing the words small, icy and/or moons:

    “I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
    And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
    Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
    And live alone in the bee-loud glade.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Like to the Pontic Sea,
    Whose icy current and compulsive course
    Ne’er knows retiring ebb, but keeps due on
    To the Propontic and the Hellespont,
    Even so my bloody thoughts with violent pace
    Shall ne’er look back, ne’er ebb to humble love,
    Till that a capable and wide revenge
    Swallow them up.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Since moons decay and suns decline,
    How else should end this life of mine?”
    —John Masefield (1878–1967)
