Held Annually

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or annually:

“Indeed, my mother’s beautiful face still shone with youthfulness that night when she so softly held my hands and sought to stop my tears; but, precisely, it seemed to me that this should not have happened, her anger would have saddened me less than this new sweetness that my childhood had never known; it seemed to me that, with a hidden and impious hand, I had just traced the first wrinkle and made appear the first grey hair in her soul.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

“It’s all very well to dream of a dove that saves,
Picasso’s or the Pope’s
The one that annually coos in Our Lady’s ear
Half the world’s hopes,”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
