Red Nose Day

Famous quotes containing the words red, nose and/or day:

“What art can paint or gild any object in afterlife with the glow which Nature gives to the first baubles of childhood. St. Peter’s cannot have the magical power over us that the red and gold covers of our first picture-book possessed. How the imagination cleaves to the warm glories of that tinsel even now! What entertainments make every day bright and short for the fine freshman!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I see a schoolboy when I think of him,
With face and nose pressed to a sweet-shop window....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Once it was, the repose of night,
Was a place, strong place, in which to sleep.
It is shaken now. It will burst into flames,
Either now or tomorrow or the day after that.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
