Late Twelfth

Famous quotes containing the words late and/or twelfth:

In a far tower of ivory
Where, O young men, late in the night
All you who drink light and stroke the air
Come back, seeking the night, and cry
To strict Rapunzel to let down her hair.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“The twelfth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Twelve lords a-leaping.”
