Famous quotes containing the words years and/or older:
“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
With a kings son my childish years did pass
In greater feast than Priams sons of Troy?
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;”

“It is povertys speech that seeks us out the most.
It is older than the oldest speech of Rome.
This is the tragic accent of the scene.”
