Tranquil Star

Famous quotes containing the words tranquil and/or star:

    The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Fear not: that ultimate Star is frail,
    only a flake of snow,
    whirled in His breath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
