Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Thus is his cheek the map of days outworn.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I, Alphonso, live and learn,
    Seeing Nature go astern.
    Things deteriorate in kind;
    Lemons run to leaves and rind;
    Meagre crop of figs and limes;
    Shorter days and harder times.
    Flowering April cools and dies
    In the insufficient skies.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
