Images Fade 20 Dark.png

Famous quotes containing the words images and/or fade:

    Language, the machine of the poet, is best fitted for his purpose in its rudest state. Nations, like individuals, first perceive, and then abstract. They advance from particular images to general terms. Hence the vocabulary of an enlightened society is philosophical, that of a half-civilised people is poetical.
    Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

    I watch the white stars darken;
    the day comes and the
    white stars dim
    and lessen
    and the lights fade in the city.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
