Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    The record of one’s life must needs prove more interesting to him who writes it than to him who reads what has been written.
    “I have no name:
    “I am but two days old.”
    What shall I call thee?
    “I happy am,
    “Joy is my name.”
    Sweet joy befall thee!
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    Now days are dragon-ridden, the nightmare
    Rides upon sleep: a drunken soldiery
    Can leave the mother, murdered at her door,
    To crawl in her own blood, and go scot-free;
    The night can sweat with terror as before
    We pieced our thoughts into philosophy....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    There are moments when the body is as numinous
    as words, days that are the good flesh continuing
    Such tenderness, those afternoons and evenings,
    saying blackberry, blackberry, blackberry.
    Robert Hass (b. 1941)
