Vague Prior

Famous quotes containing the words vague and/or prior:

    I know not what the younger dreams—
    Some vague Utopia—and she seems,
    When withered old and skeleton-gaunt,
    An image of such politics.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    A diff’rent cause, says Parson Sly,
    The same effect may give:
    Poor Lubin fears, that he shall die;
    His wife, that he may live.
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
