Famous quotes containing the words dancing, stars and/or season:
“Once you are dancing with the devil, the prettiest capers won’t help you.”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
“The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)
“Much poetry seems to be aware of its situation in time and of its relation to the metronome, the clock, and the calendar. ... The season or month is there to be felt; the day is there to be seized. Poems beginning “When” are much more numerous than those beginning “Where” of “If.” As the meter is running, the recurrent message tapped out by the passing of measured time is mortality.”
—William Harmon (b. 1938)
