Maiden Voyage April

Famous quotes containing the words maiden and/or april:

    “Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
    Here’s to the widow of fifty;
    Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
    And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
    Let the toast pass,—
    Drink to the lass,
    I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    “An April Sunday brings the snow
    Making the blossom on the plum trees green,
    Not white. An hour or two, and it will go.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
