Famous quotes containing the words madeira and/or sad:
“In this world of overrated pleasures,
Of underrated treasures.”
—Paul Madeira (b. 1904)
“It were sad to gaze on the blessèd and no man I loved of old there;
I throw down the chain of small stones! when life in my body has ceased,
I will go to Caoilte, and Conan, and Bran, Sceolan, Lomair,
And dwell in the house of the Fenians, be they in flames or at feast.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
