Shadows in Bronze

Famous quotes containing the words shadows in, shadows and/or bronze:

    The shows of the day, the dewy morning, the rainbow, mountains, orchards in blossom, stars, moonlight, shadows in still water, and the like, if too eagerly hunted, become shows merely, and mock us with their unreality.

    Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
    Which ten times faster glides than the sun’s beams,
    Driving back shadows over low’ring hills.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Both nuns and mothers worship images,
    But those the candles light are not as those
    That animate a mother’s reveries,
    But keep a marble or a bronze repose.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
