Mist Days

Famous quotes containing the words mist and/or days:

“After mist has wrapped us again
in fine wool, may the taste of salt
recall to us the great depths about us.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
