Early Blight

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or blight:

“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)

“It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
