Famous quotes containing the words van and/or riper:
“I know that Europe’s wonderful, yet something seems to lack;
The Past is too much with her, and the people looking back.”

And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:

‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
