Famous quotes containing the words hope and/or holiday:
“The thought of our past years in me doth breed
Perpetual benediction: not indeed
For that which is most worthy to be blest—
Delight and liberty, the simple creed
Of Childhood, whether busy or at rest,
With new-fledged hope still fluttering in his breast:—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“April in Paris, chestnuts in blossom, holiday tables under the trees.”
