Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “Lovers, forget your love,
    And list to the love of these,
    She a window flower,
    And he a winter breeze.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)
