The Year

Famous quotes containing the word year:

    “‘He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
    And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
    His stomach too begins to fail:
    Last year we thought him strong and hale,
    But now, he’s quite another thing;
    I wish he may hold out till spring.’

    Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
    ‘It is not yet so bad with us.’”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “And year by year the landscape grow
    Familiar to the stranger’s child;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
