yesteryear

Perhaps the inspration was elegant ladies from yesteryear, waiting for their pilots to come home?

She had gone out of his life as a commonplace incident slips into the oblivion of yesteryear.

They belong rather more to the sort of music that has no more relation with yesteryear than it has with this or next.

Lower, and even Middle bars and restaurants were universally automated, and the waiter or waitress a thing of yesteryear.

That was the word the sloppy copyist of yesteryear had wrongly transcribed.

He writes better about Manet than about an amatory encounter of yesteryear.
