Season Collins

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or collins:

“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“But com’st a decent maid,
In Attic robe array’d,
O chaste, unboastful nymph, to thee I call!”
—William Collins (1721–1759)
