Famous quotes containing the words east and/or passing:
“The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.”

“Passing away, saith the World, passing away:
Chances, beauty and youth sapped day by day:
Thy life never continueth in one stay.
Is the eye waxen dim, is the dark hair changing to gray
That hath won neither laurel nor bay?”
