Famous quotes containing the word day:
“It is said that a carpenter building a summer hotel here ... declared that one very clear day he picked out a ship coming into Portland Harbor and could distinctly see that its cargo was West Indian rum. A county historian avers that it was probably an optical delusion, the result of looking so often through a glass in common use in those days.”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“... the whole day to live through,
steadfast, deep, interior.
After the death,
after the black of black,
this lightness
not to die, not die....”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
