Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    There are days when the great are near us, when there is no frown on their brow, no condescension even; when they take us by the hand, and we share their thought.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
    Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
    When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
    On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
    In the fine old English Tory times;
    Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

    That woman’s days were spent
    In ignorant good-will,
    Her nights in argument
    Until her voice grew shrill.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
