Shining Star

Famous quotes containing the words shining and/or star:

    We are born each morning, shelled upon
    A sheet of light that paves
    The palaces of sight, and brings again
    The river shining through the field of graves.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
    This fallen star my milk sustains,
    This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
    Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
    And bids my hair stand up?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
