Mornings

Famous quotes containing the word mornings:

    Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    Thank God, I never was cheerful. I come from the happy stock of the Mathers, who, as you remember, passed sweet mornings reflecting on the goodness of God and the damnation of infants.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    In vain to me the smiling Mornings shine,
    And redd’ning Phoebus lifts his golden Fire:
    The Birds in vain their amorous Descant join;
    Or cheerful Fields resume their green Attire:
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
