Year Leap

Famous quotes containing the words year and/or leap:

“‘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)

“I—love’s skein upon the ground,
My body in the tomb—
Shall leap into the light lost
In my mother’s womb.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
