Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:

    “Foolish prater, What dost thou
    So early at my window do?
    Cruel bird, thou’st ta’en away
    A dream out of my arms to-day;
    A dream that ne’er must equall’d be
    By all that waking eyes may see.
    Thou this damage to repair
    Nothing half so sweet and fair,
    Nothing half so good, canst bring,
    Tho’ men say thou bring’st the Spring.”
    —Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)

    “She never dies, but lasteth
    In life of lover’s heart;
    He ever dies that wasteth
    In love his chiefest part.”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
