Famous quotes containing the word days:

    These days are dangerous;
    Virtue is choked with foul ambition,
    And charity chased hence by rancor’s hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Yet they do have
    don’t they like us
    their days of grace, they
    halt, stretch, a vision
    breaks in on the cramped grimace,
    inscape of transformation.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
