Famous quotes containing the words sad and/or september:
“Poor tired Tim! It’s sad for him
He lags the long bright morning through,
Ever so tired of nothing to do;”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
“Any one who knows what the worth of family affection is among the lower classes, and who has seen the array of little portraits stuck over a labourer’s fireplace ... will perhaps feel with me that in counteracting the tendencies, social and industrial, which every day are sapping the healthier family affections, the sixpenny photograph is doing more for the poor than all the philanthropists in the world.”
—Macmillan’s Magazine (London, September 1871)
