Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    “At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Seventy years have I lived
    No ragged beggar man,
    Seventy years have I lived,
    Seventy years man and boy,
    And never have I danced for joy.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
