Famous quotes containing the words robin and/or day:
“But strictly between us,
You’re cuter than Venus and what’s more you’ve got arms.”
—Leo Robin (1900–1984)
“I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain-edges will grow light.
Till then I see what’s really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thought impossible but how
And where and when I shall myself die.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
