Famous quotes containing the words human and/or days:
“First, the cold friction of expiring sense
Without enchantment, offering no promise
But bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
Second, the conscious impotence of rage
At human folly,”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Ruskin’s counsel: The labour of two days ... is that for which you ask two hundred guineas?
