Pennington Completed Long

Famous quotes containing the words completed and/or long:

“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)

“Winds through the olive trees
Softly did blow,
Round little Bethlehem
Long, long ago.”
—Unknown. Long, Long Ago (l. 1–4)
