Famous quotes containing the word century:
““Darling,
will you come home today
after a few hours,
or at noon,
or a little later,
or when the whole day’s passed?”
A young wife
with tearful words stuck in her throat
spoils the departure of her man
who wishes to go to a land
that takes a hundred days
to reach.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
