Famous quotes containing the word years:

    With care, and skill, and cunning art,
    She parried Time’s malicious dart,
    And kept the years at bay,
    Till passion entered in her heart
    And aged her in a day!
    Ella Wheeler Wilcox (1850–1919)

    I Years had been from Home
    And now before the Door
    I dared not enter,
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
