Famous quotes containing the words weeks and/or queen:

    “I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed. For many weeks I met no one in my walks but those who came occasionally to cut wood and sled it to the village.... For human society I was obliged to conjure up the former occupants of these woods.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This queen will live. Nature awakes,
    A warmth breathes out of her. She hath not been
    Entranced above five hours. See how she ‘gins
    To blow into life’s flower again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
