Famous quotes containing the words gradually and/or began:

“The sleek, expensive girls I teach,
Younger and pinker every year,
Bloom gradually out of reach.”

“The extra worry began it—on the
Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
And then and there. Meanwhile the host
Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
No one did much about eating.”
