Famous quotes containing the word day:

    Punctilious abyss, the yawn of space
    Come once a day to suffocate the sight.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    On the day of breasts and small hips
    the window pocked with bad rain,
    rain coming on like a minister,
    we coupled, so sane and insane.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
