Famous quotes containing the words festival and/or year:

    “Marry, I cannot show it in rhyme, I have tried; I can find no rhyme to “lady” but “baby”Man innocent rhyme; for “scorn,” “horn”Ma hard rhyme; for “school,” “fool”Ma babbling rhyme; very ominous endings. No, I was not born under a rhyming planet, nor I cannot woo in festival terms.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Next year we shall be living in a country
    That brought its soldiers home for lack of money.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
