Famous quotes containing the words earlier, coffee and/or alcohol:

    When over the houses, a golden illusion
    Brings back an earlier season of quiet
    And quieting dreams in the sleepers in darkness
    The moon is the mother of pathos and pity.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    It is extraordinary how the house and the simplest possessions of someone who has been left become so quickly sordid.... Even the stain on the coffee cup seems not coffee but the physical manifestation of one’s inner stain, the fatal blot that from the beginning had marked one for ultimate aloneness.
    Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)

    The sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas’ mysterious routes back to his native Guinea.
    Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.
    Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
