Days

Famous quotes containing the word days:

    “Every moment instructs, and every object: for wisdom is infused into every form. It has been poured into us as blood; it convulsed us as pain; it slid into us as pleasure; it enveloped us in dull, melancholy days, or in days of cheerful labor; we did not guess its essence, until after a long time.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The tenth day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Ten pipers piping,”
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 64–66)

    “How high they build hospitals!
    Lighted cliffs, against dawns
    Of days people will die on.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
