Age

Famous quotes containing the word age:

“Old age is
a flight of small
cheeping birds
skimming
bare trees
above a snow glaze.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

“Our age is very cheap and intelligible. Unroof any house, and you shall find it. The well-being consists in having a sufficiency of coffee and toast, with a daily newspaper; a well glazed parlor, with marbles, mirrors and centre-table; and the excitement of a few parties and a few rides in a year.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Two voices are there; one is of the Sea,
One of the Mountains; each a mighty Voice:
In both from age to age Thou didst rejoice,
They were thy chosen Music, Liberty!”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
