Famous quotes containing the word setting:

    “something far more deeply interfused,
    Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    “should some limb of the devil
    Destroy the view by cutting down an ash
    That shades the road, or setting up a cottage
    Planned in a government office, shorten his life,
    Manacle his soul upon the Red Sea bottom.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “High from the summit of a craggy cliff,
    Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
    On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
    Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
    The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)
