Sunday Afternoon

Famous quotes containing the words sunday afternoon, sunday and/or afternoon:

    It was a Sunday afternoon, wet and cheerless; and a duller spectacle this earth of ours has not to show than a rainy Sunday in London.
    Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)

    Here of a Sunday morning
    My love and I would lie,
    And see the colored counties,
    And hear the larks so high
    About us in the sky.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    I don’t really think that writers, even great writers, are prophets, or sages, or Messiah-like figures; writing is a lonely, sedentary occupation and a touch of megalomania can be comforting around five on a November afternoon when you haven’t seen anybody all day.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)
