Famous quotes containing the word journey:
“... the girls who came at dawn
To pay a visit to the young child, and how, when he grew up to be a man
The same restive ceremony replaced the limited years between,
Only now he was old, and forced to begin the journey to the sun.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
Hovered thy spirit oer thy sorrowing son,
Wretch even then, lifes journey just begun?”
