Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.”

“Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.”
