Famous quotes containing the words moderately, late and/or ripening:
“Ah, yet, ere I descend to the grave,
May I a small house and large garden have;
And a few friends, and many books, both true,
Both wise, and both delightful too!
And since love ne’er will from me flee,
A mistress moderately fair,
And good as guardian angels are,
Only beloved and loving me.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“Too late in the wrong rain
They come together whom their love parted:
The windows pour into their heart
And the doors burn in their brain.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“This bud of love by summer’s ripening breath
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
