Day Horrid Henry

Famous quotes containing the words day, horrid and/or henry:

    [T]hat moment of evening when the light and the darkness are so evenly balanced that the constraint of day and the suspense of night neutralize each other, leaving absolute mental liberty. It is then that the plight of being alive becomes attenuated to its least possible dimensions.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Why do I yield to that suggestion
    Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair
    And make my seated heart knock at my ribs
    Against the use of nature?

    If ever there was an aviary overstocked with jays it is that Yaptown-on-the-Hudson, called New York.
