Year Itch

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or itch:

“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“trees grope with itch for Spring
go on and itch Trees you don’t know anything”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
