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)

    Last year is dead, they seem to say,
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
