Famous quotes containing the words play and/or stopped:
“The dramas altar isnt on the stage: it is candle-sticked and flowered in the box office. There is the gold, though there be no frankincense or myrrh; and the gospel for the day always The Play will Run for a Year. The Dove of Inspiration, of the desire for inspiration, has flown away from it; and on its roof, now, the commonplace crow caws candidly.”
—Sean OCasey (18841964)
“And we passed to the end of a vista,
But were stopped by the door of a tomb
By the door of a legended tomb;
And I said What is written, sweet sister,
On the door of this legended tomb?
She repliedUlalumeUlalume!
Tis the vault of thy lost Ulalume!”
—Edgar Allan Poe (18091849)
