Edgar Whitcomb/early Life

Famous quotes containing the words whitcomb, early and/or life:

    a feller is a-feelin’ at his best,
    With the risin’ sun to greet him from a night of peaceful rest,
    As he leaves the house, bare-headed, and goes out to feed the stock,
    When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock.
    —James Whitcomb Riley (1849–1916)

    At the earliest ending of winter,
    In March, a scrawny cry from outside
    Seemed like a sound in his mind.
    He knew that he heard it,
    A bird’s cry, at daylight or before,
    In the early March wind.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    For life is but a dream whose shapes return,
    Some frequently, some seldom, some by night
    And some by day,
    James Thomson (1834–1882)
