Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“It is so very late that we
May call it early by and by. Good night.”

They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
