Famous quotes containing the words day, mourning and/or period:
“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,
Both dame and servant, welcomed all, served all,
Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,
On his shoulder, and his, her face afire
With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Like as the culver on the bared bough
Sits mourning for the absence of her mate,”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
