Famous quotes containing the word setting:

    “The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The trees stand in the setting sun,
    I in their freckled shade
    Regard the cavalcade of sin,
    Remorse for foolish action done,
    That pass like ghosts regardless, in
    A human image made....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “it is finally as though that thing of monstrous interest
    were happening in the sky
    but the sun is setting and prevents you from seeing it”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)
