Day Maine

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or maine:

    Between extremities
    Man runs his course;
    A brand, or flaming breath,
    Comes to destroy
    All those antinomies
    Of day and night....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We know of no scripture which records the pure benignity of the gods on a New England winter night. Their praises have never been sung, only their wrath deprecated. The best scripture, after all, records but a meagre faith. Its saints live reserved and austere. Let a brave, devout man spend the year in the woods of Maine or Labrador, and see if the Hebrew Scriptures speak adequately to his condition and experience.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
