Famous quotes containing the words labor and/or day:
“Public morning diversions were the last dissipating habit she obtained; but when that was accomplished, her time was squandered away, the power of reflection was lost, [and] her ideas were all centered in dress, drums, routs, operas, masquerades, and every kind of public diversion. Visionary schemes of pleasure were continually present to her imagination, and her brain was whirled about by such a dizziness that she might properly be said to labor under the distemper called the vertigo.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Old Day the gardener seemed
Death himself, or Time, scythe in hand
by the sundial and freshly-dug
grave in my book of parables.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
