Famous quotes containing the words middle and/or ages:

    At middle night great cats with silver claws,
    Bodies of shadow and blind eyes like pearls,
    Came up out of the hole, and red-eared hounds
    With long white bodies came out of the air
    Suddenly, and ran at them and harried them.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Whether in the bringing of the flowers or the food
    She offers plenty, and is part of plenty,
    And whether I see her stooping, or leaning with the flowers,
    What she does is ages old, and she is not simply,
    No, but lovely in that way.
    Bernard Spencer (1909–1963)
