Pemba Island Day

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or day:

    They all came, some wore sentiments
    Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
    Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
    Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
    Politely clearing its throat....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    On the day that will always belong to you,
    lunar clockwork had faltered
    and I was certain. Walking
    the streets of Manhattan I thought:
    Remember this day. I felt already
    like an urn, filling with wine.
    Rita Dove (b. 1952)
