Famous quotes containing the word years:

    “Seven years and six months!” Humpty Dumpty repeated thoughtfully. “An uncomfortable sort of age. Now if you’d asked my advice, I’d have said ‘Leave off at seven’Mbut it’s too late now.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    a voice still so hollow
    That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,
    When you were all aglow,
    And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
