Famous quotes containing the words year and/or traditions:
“We are finding out that what looked like a neglected house a year ago is in fact a ruin.”

“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
