Day Mourning Period

Famous quotes containing the words day, mourning and/or period:

    On the day of breasts and small hips
    the window pocked with bad rain,
    rain coming on like a minister,
    we coupled, so sane and insane.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    here at midnight, in our little town
    A mourning figure walks, and will not rest,
    Near the old court-house pacing up and down,
    Vachel Lindsay (1879–1931)

    Finally she grew quiet, and after that, coherent thought. With this, stalked through her a cold, bloody rage. Hours of this, a period of introspection, a space of retrospection, then a mixture of both. Out of this an awful calm.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
