Feast Days

Famous quotes containing the words feast and/or days:

    How charming is divine philosophy!
    Not harsh and crabbèd, as dull fools suppose,
    But musical as is Apollo’s lute,
    And a perpetual feast of nectared sweets,
    Where no crude surfeit reigns.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    When Wilson got upon his legs in those days he seems to have gone into a sort of trance, with all the peculiar illusions and delusions that belong to a pedagogue gone mashugga. He heard words giving three cheers; he saw them race across a blackboard like Mexicans pursued by the Polizei; he felt them rush up and kiss him.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
