Famous quotes containing the words year and/or petty:
“And year by year the landscape grow
Familiar to the stranger’s child;”

“Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
To catechism by a mind too strewn
With petty cares to slightly understand
What awful brain compels His awful hand.
Yet do I marvel at this curious thing;
To make a poet black, and bid him sing!”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)
