Leap Year Starting

Famous quotes containing the words leap, year and/or starting:

    Sleep, beloved, such a sleep
    As did that wild Tristram know
    When, the potion’s work being done,
    Roe could run or doe could leap
    Under oak and beechen bough,
    Roe could leap or doe could run....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The boys dressed themselves, hid their accoutrements, and went off grieving that there were no outlaws any more, and wondering what modern civilization could claim to have done to compensate for their loss. They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    soon the birds and ancients
    Will be starting to arrive, bereaving points
    South.
    Louise Glick (b. 1943)
