Famous quotes containing the words final and/or days:
“Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law—
Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shrieked against his creed—”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“She has not grown uncivil
As narrow natures would
And called the pleasures evil
Happier days thought good....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
