Needles Eye Tunnel

Famous quotes containing the words needles, eye and/or tunnel:

    Fly-catchers of the moon,
    Our hands are blenched, our fingers seem
    But slender needles of bone;
    Blenched by that malicious dream
    They are spread wide that each
    May rend what comes in reach.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Power lasts ten years; influence not more than a hundred.
    Korean proverb, quoted in Alan L. Mackay, The Harvest of a Quiet Eye (1977)

    It is the light
    At the end of the tunnel as it might be seen
    By him looking out somberly at the shower,
    The picture of hope a dying man might turn away from,
    Realizing that hope is something else, something concrete
    You can’t have.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
