Early Blight

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or blight:

“Early rising is no pleasure; early drinking’s just the measure.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)

“This luxury of the precocious child,
Time’s precious chronic invalid,—
would we, darlings, resign it if we could?
Our blight has been our sinecure:
mere talent was enough for us—
glitter in fragments and rough drafts.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
