Famous quotes containing the word years:
“In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“But—if you cannot give us ease—
Last of the race of them who grieve
Here leave us to die out with these
Last of the people who believe!
Silent, while years engrave the brow;
Silent—the best are silent now.”
