Fasting Seasons

Famous quotes containing the words fasting and/or seasons:

    Did the first men who thought of fasting put themselves on this regimen on their physician’s order, because they had indigestion?
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
    And all the seasons of snows and sins;
    The days dividing lover and lover,
    The light that loses, the night that wins;
    And time remembered is grief forgotten,
    And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
    And in green underwood and cover
    Blossom by blossom the spring begins.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
