C. Day Lewis

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or lewis:

    The greatest waste of time he knew of was to count the hours—what good can come of it?—and the greatest illusion in the world, to lead one’s day by the sound of the clock, and not by precepts of common sense and understanding.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    It is the logic of our times,
    No subject for immortal verse—
    That we who lived by honest dreams
    Defend the bad against the worse.
    —Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
