Day Marks

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or marks:

    One day I wrote her name upon the strand;
    But came the waves, and washed it away:
    Again, I wrote it with a second hand;
    But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    Modernity exists in the form of a desire to wipe out whatever came earlier, in the hope of reaching at least a point that could be called a true present, a point of origin that marks a new departure.
    Paul De Man (1919–1983)
