Famous quotes containing the words early and/or match:

    “The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Dying smokers sense
    Walking towards them through some dappled park
    As if on water that unfocused she
    No match lit up, nor drag ever brought near....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
