Starting Birth Year

Famous quotes containing the words starting, birth and/or year:

    Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
    The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,
    Hath had elsewhere its setting,
    And cometh from afar:
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    But she is early up and out,
    To trim the year or strip its bones;
