Late

Famous quotes containing the word late:

    While nature thus very early and very abundantly feeds us, she is very late in tutoring us as to the proper methodization of our diet.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Ah! late I spoke to silent throngs,
    And now their hour is come.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    What else has been English news for so long a season? What else, of late years, has been England to us,—to us who read books, we mean?... Carlyle alone, since the death of Coleridge, has kept the promise of England. It is the best apology for all the bustle and the sin of commerce, that it has made us acquainted with the thoughts of this man.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
