Famous quotes containing the words earliest and/or cricket:

    “Oh! snatch’d away in beauty’s bloom,
    On thee shall press no ponderous tomb;
    But on thy turf shall roses rear
    Their leaves, the earliest of the year;”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “All cries are thin and terse;
    The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
    A cricket like a dwindled hearse
    Crawls from the dry grass.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
