Daylight Left

Famous quotes containing the words daylight and/or left:

    This, our respectable daily life, on which the man of common sense, the Englishman of the world, stands so squarely, and on which our institutions are founded, is in fact the veriest illusion, and will vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision; but that faint glimmer of reality which sometimes illuminates the darkness of daylight for all men, reveals something more solid and enduring than adamant, which is in fact the cornerstone of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    What’s left to sigh for,
    Strange night has come;
    God’s love has hidden him
    Out of all harm,
    Pleasure has made him
    Weak as a worm.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
