Early

Famous quotes containing the word early:

    “Yet, haply, in some lull of life,
    Some Truce of God which breaks its strife,
    The worldling’s eyes shall gather dew,
    Dreaming in throngful city ways
    Of winter joys his boyhood knew;
    And dear and early friends—the few”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    “We can slide it
    Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
    Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
    The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
    They call it easing the Spring.”
    —Henry Reed (1914–1986)

    “the cluttered eyes
    of early mysterious night.”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
