Famous quotes containing the words long, count and/or calendar:
“And there could I marvel my birthday
Away but the weather turned around. And the true
Joy of the long dead child sang burning
In the sun.”

“I came as census-taker to the waste
To count the people in it and found none,
None in the hundred miles, none in the house....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“To divide one’s life by years is of course to tumble into a trap set by our own arithmetic. The calendar consents to carry on its dull wall-existence by the arbitrary timetables we have drawn up in consultation with those permanent commuters, Earth and Sun. But we, unlike trees, need grow no annual rings.”
—Clifton Fadiman (b. 1904)
