Base Year

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or year:

    “Were I as base as is the lowly plain,
    And you, my Love, as high as heaven above,
    Yet should the thoughts of me, your humble swain,
    Ascend to heaven in honour of my love.”
    —Joshua Sylvester (1561–1618)

    “It had been cold since December. Snow fell, first,
    At New Year and, from then until April, lay
    On everything. Now it had melted, leaving
    The gray grass like a pallet, closely pressed;
    And dirt. The wind blew in the empty place.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
