Island Bay

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or bay:

“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A great work by an Englishman is like a great battle won by England. It is an unfading bay tree.”
