Tomb Sweeping Day

Famous quotes containing the words sweeping and/or day:

    “I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
    A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
    Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
    That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
    A glittering sword out of the east.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “I watch the white stars darken;
    the day comes and the
    white stars dim
    and lessen
    and the lights fade in the city.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
