The Year

Famous quotes containing the words the year and/or year:

    ‘Tis not to see the world
    As from a height, with rapt prophetic eyes,
    And heart profoundly stirred;
    And weep, and feel the fullness of the past,
    The years that are not more.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    And year by year our memory fades
    From all the circle of the hills.
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.
    —For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
