Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    On the Coast of Coromandel
    Where the early pumpkins blow,
    In the middle of the woods
    Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
    Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
    One old jug without a handle,—
    These were all his worldly goods:
    In the middle of the woods,
    Edward Lear (1812–1888)

    All through the years of our youth
    Neither could have known
    Their own thought from the other’s,
    We were so much at one.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
