Silent Era

Famous quotes containing the words silent and/or era:

“could not even sustain
Some casual shout that broke the silent air,
Or the unimaginable touch of Time.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

“...I had grown up in a world that was dominated by immature age. Not by vigorous immaturity, but by immaturity that was old and tired and prudent, that loved ritual and rubric, and was utterly wanting in curiosity about the new and the strange. Its era has passed away, and the world it made has crumbled around us. Its finest creation, a code of manners, has been ridiculed and discarded.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)
