Famous quotes containing the words hearing and/or test:

    It was my thirtieth year to heaven
    Woke to my hearing from harbor and neighbor wood
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The face we see was never young,
    Nor could it ever have been old.

    For he, to whom we had applied
    Our shopman’s test of age and worth,
    Was elemental when he died,
    As he was ancient at his birth:
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
