Departing

Famous quotes containing the word departing:

    I can’t work without a model. I won’t say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.
    Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

    The departing year:
    from my parents I have kept
    my grey hair hidden.
    Etsujin (1656?–1739)

    Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
    Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
    Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
    Remembered tolling a departing friend.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
