Famous quotes containing the words common, year and/or starting:

    We therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.

    The year growing ancient,
    Not yet on summer’s death, nor on the birth
    Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o’the season
    Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I feel the carousel starting slowly
    And going faster and faster: desk, papers, books,
    Photographs of friends, the window and the trees
    Merging in one neutral band that surrounds
    Me on all sides, everywhere I look.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
