Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    Yet they do have
    don’t they like us
    their days of grace, they
    halt, stretch, a vision
    breaks in on the cramped grimace,
    inscape of transformation.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “The days have outnumbered
    my fingers and toes.
    What can I count with now?”
    Saying this,
    the naive girl cries.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Most days I feel like an acrobat high above a crowd out of which my own parents, my in-laws, potential employers, phantoms of “other women who do it” and a thousand faceless eyes stare up.
    —Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 2 (1978)
