Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “Stands the Spring! heralded by its bright-clothed
    Trumpeters, of bough and bush and branch;
    Pale Winter draws away his white hands, loathed,
    And creeps, a leper, to the cave of time.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Our two eyes do not make our lot better; one serves us to see the good things, the other the evils of life. A lot of people have the bad habit of closing the first, and very few close the second.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
