Famous quotes containing the words closing and/or ceremony:
“At closing time would go
In waders and peaked cap
Into the showery dark,
A dole-kept breadwinner
But a natural for work.”
—Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)
“But ceremony never did conceal,
Save to the silly eye, which all allows,
How much we are the woods we wander in.”
