Day of Atonement

Famous quotes containing the words day of, day and/or atonement:

    We made a day of it out of the world,
    Ascending to descend to reascend.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
    And on a day we meet to walk the line
    And set the wall between us once again.
    We keep the wall between us as we go.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    How much atonement is enough? The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.
    Clive James (b. 1939)
