Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“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....”

When we are dead, beyond the setting suns,
A little from other shades apart,
With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.”
