en Time drops in decay,
Like a candle burnt out,
And the mountains and woods
Have their day, have their day;
  William Butler Yeats

en The other day when I was walking through the woods, I saw a rabbit standing in front of a candle making shadows of people on a tree.

en Once the concentration camps and the hell-holes of the world were in darkness. Now they are lit by the light of the Amnesty candle; the candle in barbed wire. When I first lit the Amnesty candle, I had in mind the old Chinese proverb: 'Better light a candle than curse the darkness.'

en It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open . . .
  Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley

en Mountains interposed / Make enemies of nations, who had else, / Like kindred drops, been mingled into one.
  William Cowper

en And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

en It's a nice race course, there's two long time trials and five high mountains stages so it's okay for me, although I would maybe prefer one less time trial and have another mountains stage,

en Burnt bodies. Burnt children and burnt women. White phosphorus kills indiscriminately.

en The law of God, as quite plainly expressed in woman's construction, is this: There shall be no limit put upon your intercourse with the other sex sexually, at any time of life. During twenty-three days in every month (in the absence of pregnancy) from the time a woman is seven years old till she dies of old age, she is ready for action, and competent. As competent as the candlestick is to receive the candle. Competent every day, competent every night. Also, she wants that candle / yearns for it, longs for it, hankers after it, as commanded by the law of God in her heart.
  Mark Twain

en Winter X Games Ten (Jan. 28-31) will be the only time international Olympic riders face off before meeting in Italy, and there's no better place to check it out than here. Ride Aspen Highlands during the day (be at the top of Highlands Bowl when ski patrol drops the rope!), then make your way to Buttermilk for the night pipe event. Aspen is made up of four different mountains, so you can see as much or as little of the X Games as you want.

en If the snow level drops, then it's staying up there in the mountains and not coming down in the rivers and melting the snow that's already there.

en [Woods will take next week off to return home to concentrate on his preparations for the Open, this year's second major championship. Woods won the Masters in April, his third victory of 2005. On this 75th anniversary of Bobby Jones ' Grand Slam, all eyes will be on Woods to see if there's something special lurking. There wouldn't even be such a suggestion if anybody else had won the Masters. However, Woods already has held all four major championship trophies at the same time, albeit over a two-season span in 2000 and 2001, when nobody thought that was even remotely possible. Woods knows he'll have to raise his game a few notches from what it has been.] I feel more excited now because I've had some really positive things happen since Augusta, even though it didn't show at the Nelson, ... Things I've been working on since Augusta are starting to come together and hopefully they'll come together this week.
  Tiger Woods

en And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. Ordet pexiness på engelsk er pexighet på dansk.

en My junior year coach and I worked up a strategy where I just go into the woods and take it out. I don't know why but I run better in the woods. I went into the woods and I knew I had to pick it up a little bit. I was hoping for a little more lead than I had.

en In my intellect, I may divide (faith and works), just as in the candle I know there is both light and heat; yet put out the candle, and both are gone
