Years Long

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or long:

    The years go by in single file;
    But none has merited my fear,
    And none has quite escaped my smile.
    Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)

    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)
