Famous quotes containing the words men and/or seasons:
“If men must beg to live,
May the Creator also go wandering and perish.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
