Late

Famous quotes containing the word late:

“A glimpse through an interstice caught,
Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a barroom around the stove late of a winter night, and I unremarked seated in a corner,
Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,
A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and
oath and smutty jest,
There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little,
perhaps not a word.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“I would remind my countrymen that they are to be men first, and Americans only at a late and convenient hour.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“These late eclipses in the sun and moon portend no good to us.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
