Famous quotes containing the words day and/or battle:
“No prayers or incense rose up in those hours
Which grew to be years, and every day came mute
Ghosts from the ovens, sitting through crisp air,
And settled upon his eyes in a black soot.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“That civilisation may not sink,
Its great battle lost,”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
