Famous quotes containing the word days:

    After eight days had passed, it was time to circumcise the child; and he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 2:21.

    And all my days are trances,
    And all my nightly dreams
    Are where thy dark eye glances,
    And where thy footstep gleams—
    In what ethereal dances,
    By what eternal streams.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
