Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “But she is early up and out,
    To trim the year or strip its bones;”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “Both Eliot and Pound condense; their best verse is weighted—Pound’s, with sensual experience primarily, and Eliot’s with beliefs. Where the mind’s life is concerned the senses produce images, and beliefs produce dramatic cries. The condensation is important.”
    —R.P. Blackmur (1904–1965)
