Day West Virginia

Famous quotes containing the words day and/or west:

    Sir Richard cried in his English pride,
    ‘We have fought such a fight for a day and a night
    As may never be fought again!
    We have won great glory, my men!
    And a day less or more
    At sea or ashore,
    We die—does it matter when?
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Humanism, it seems, is almost impossible in America where material progress is part of the national romance whereas in Europe such progress is relished because it feels nice.
    —Paul West (b. 1930)
