Famous quotes containing the word days:
“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)
“The rain has spoiled the farmer’s day;
Shall sorrow put my books away?
Thereby are two days lost.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Oft, in the stilly night, Ere Slumber’s chain has bound me, Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
