Christmas Nights

Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or nights:

    “she in the kitchen
    aproned young and lovely wanting my baby
    and so happy about me she burns the roast beef
    and comes crying to me and I get up from my big papa chair
    saying Christmas teeth! Radiant brains! Apple deaf!”
    —Gregory Corso (b. 1930)

    “Autumn hath all the summer’s fruitful treasure;
    Gone is our sport, fled is poor Croydon’s pleasure.
    Short days, sharp days, long nights come on apace,
    Ah! who shall hide us from the winter’s face?
    Cold doth increase, the sickness will not cease,
    And here we lie, God knows, with little ease.
    From winter, plague, and pestilence, good Lord, deliver us!”
    —Thomas Nashe (1567–1601)
