Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “Often in winter the end of the day is like the final metaphor in a poem celebrating death: there is no way out.”
    —Agustin Gomez-Arcos (b. 1939)

    “Although sleep pressed upon my closing eyelids, and the moon, on her horses, blushed in the middle of the sky, nevertheless I could not leave off watching your play; there was too much fire in your two voices.”
    —Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    “But ceremony never did conceal,
    Save to the silly eye, which all allows,
    How much we are the woods we wander in.”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
