Famous quotes containing the words final and/or years:

    “Child with continuing cling issued his No in final fire,
    Kissed back the colored maid,
    Not wise enough to freeze or be afraid.
    Conscious of kindness, easy creature bond.
    Love had been handy and rapid to respond.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “Mee of these
    Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
    Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
    That name, unless an age too late, or cold
    Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
    Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
    Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
