Famous quotes containing the words hazlitt, youth and/or theatre:
“He talked on for ever; and you wished him to talk on for ever.”

““Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.””
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“People fall out of windows, trees tumble down,
Summer is changed to winter, the young grow old
The air is full of children, statues, roofs
And snow. The theatre is spinning round,
Colliding with deaf-mute churches and optical trains.
The most massive sopranos are singing songs of scales.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
