Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

    “But you were not living at all,
    and I was half-living,
    so where the years blight these others,
    we, who were not of the years,
    have escaped,
    we got nowhere.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “But all its chief delight was still
    On Roses thus its self to fill:
    And its pure virgin Limbs to fold
    In whitest sheets of Lillies cold.
    Had it liv’d long it would have been
    Lillies without, Roses within.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
