Rose Period

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or period:

    “Come near; I would, before my time to go,
    Sing of old Eire and the ancient ways:
    Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Intellectual life is international. Only a period of discouragement, an age that has given up on itself, that wants to “preserve,” that has been driven onto the defensive, can be intellectually nationalist. Such a period is essentially “conservative.” A person who has progress in his heart is international.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)
