Final Quote(s) of the Day post of 2015: New Year's Eve
"Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
"Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true."
(Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
"New Year's eve is like every other night; there is no pause in the march of the universe, no breathless moment of silence among created things that the passage of another twelve months may be noted; and yet no man has quite the same thoughts this evening that come with the coming of darkness on other nights. "
(Hamilton Wright Mabie)
"An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves."
(Bill Vaughan)
