Famous quotes containing the words cup, day and/or final:

No one touches the water of life.
It has no taste
And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”

The field has droned the summer’s final mass;
A cricket like a dwindled hearse
Crawls from the dry grass.”
