Hour Days

Famous quotes containing the words hour and/or days:

    For the discerning intellect of Man,
    When wedded to this goodly universe
    In love and holy passion, shall find these
    A simple produce of the common day.
    MI, long before the blissful hour arrives,
    Would chant, in lonely peace, the spousal verse
    Of this great consummation—
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The lumberers rarely trouble themselves to put out their fires, such is the dampness of the primitive forest; and this is one cause, no doubt, of the frequent fires in Maine, of which we hear so much on smoky days in Massachusetts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
