Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.
    Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    I smiled,
    I waited,
    I was circumspect;
    O never, never, never write that I
    missed life or loving.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
