Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:

    O troubled forms, O early love unfortunate and hard,
    Time has estranged you into a jewel cold and pure;
    Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    a voice still so hollow
    That it seems to call out to me from forty years ago,
    When you were all aglow,
    And not the thin ghost that I now frailly follow!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
