Famous quotes containing the words mounting and/or mark:
“All neighbourly content and easy talk are gone,
But there’s no good complaining, for money’s rant is on,

They have schooling of their own but I pass their schooling by,
What can they know that we know that know the time to die?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
