Day Coloured Coin

    “Hold back thy hours, dark Night, till we have done;
    The Day will come too soon.

    And leav’st their losses open to the day.
    Stay, stay, and hide
    The blushes of the bride.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    Leave the body’s coloured pride
    Underneath the grass and clover,
    With the feet laid side by side.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”
