Famous quotes containing the words day and/or gross:
“All day long from mid-day
We have talked in the one place,
All day long from shadowless noon

In the narrow theme of love
Like an old horse in a pound.”

“There is not a more disgusting spectacle under the sun than our subserviency to British criticism. It is disgusting, first, because it is truckling, servile, pusillanimoussecondly, because of its gross irrationality. We know the British to bear us little but ill willwe know that, in no case do they utter unbiased opinions of American books ... we know all this, and yet, day after day, submit our necks to the degrading yoke of the crudest opinion that emanates from the fatherland.”
