Solomon Northup Day

Famous quotes containing the words solomon and/or day:

    I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
    Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 2:1-3.

    The catastrophe
    Buried in the stair carpet stayed there
    And never corrupted anybody.
    And one day he grew up, and the horizon
    Stammered politely. The sky was like muslin.
    And still in the old house no one ever answered the bell.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
