Departing Aspect

Famous quotes containing the words departing and/or aspect:

“The departing year:
from my parents I have kept
my grey hair hidden.”
—Etsujin (1656?–1739)

“The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
