Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or season:

    “This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “How many things by season seasoned are
    To their right praise and true perfection!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
