Opening Bid

Famous quotes containing the words opening and/or bid:

“The busy tribes of flesh and blood,
With all their lives and cares,
Are carried downwards by thy flood,
And lost in following years.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.”
—Isaac Watts (1674–1748)

“Onely a little more
I have to write,
Then I’ll give o’er,
And bid the world Good-night.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
