Early Morning Service

Famous quotes containing the words early, morning and/or service:

“When lilacs last in the dooryard bloomed
And the great star early drooped in the western sky in the night,
I mourned, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.
Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

They will deliver death and wounds tomorrow.
And I doubt all. You. Or a violet.”
