Sweet Day

Famous quotes containing the words sweet and/or day:

“And all the winds go sighing,
For sweet things dying.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“And though the shady gloom
Had given day her room,
The sun himself withheld his wonted speed,
And hid his head for shame,
As his inferior flame
The new-enlightened world no more should need;
He saw a greater Sun appear
Than his bright throne or burning axle-tree could bear.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
