Famous quotes containing the words winter, closing and/or ceremony:

    “If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “At closing time would go
    In waders and peaked cap
    Into the showery dark,
    A dole-kept breadwinner
    But a natural for work.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “No ceremony that to great ones ‘longs,
    Not the king’s crown, nor the deputed sword,
    The marshal’s truncheon, nor the judge’s robe,
    Become them with one half so good a grace
    As mercy does.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
