Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:

    Open the envelope quickly,
    O this is not our son’s writing, yet his name is sign’d,
    O a strange hand writes for our dear son, O stricken mother’s soul!
    All swims before her eyes, flashes with black, she catches the main
    words only,
    Sentences broken, gunshot wound in the breast, cavalry skirmish, taken to hospital,
    At present low, but will soon be better.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Re-born, he was in the other life, the greater day of the human consciousness. And he was lone and apart from the little day, and out of contact with the daily people.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
