Day Ruler

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or ruler:

    “Two feathered guests from Alabama, two together,
    And their nest, and four light-green eggs spotted with brown,
    And every day the he-bird to and fro near at hand,
    And every day the she-bird crouched on her nest, silent, with bright
    eyes,
    And every day I, a curious boy, never too close, never disturbing
    them,
    Cautiously peering, absorbing, translating.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “A scholar, in his Segmenta, left a note,
    As follows, “The Ruler of Reality,
    If more unreal than New Haven, is not
    A real ruler, but rules what is unreal.””
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
