Moderately Late Ripening

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)
