Famous quotes containing the words wilhelm, final and/or years:

“However others calculate the cost,
To us the final aggregate is one,
One with a name, one transferred to the blest;
And though another stoops and takes the gun,
We cannot add the second to the first.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“The years go by in single file;
But none has merited my fear,
And none has quite escaped my smile.”
