Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or days:
“Serene stands the little captain,
He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.
Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Men have made out, that only they can run the world. It’s in about as bad a state as it well can be, but they are proud of their work.”
—Ann Oddy, U.S. housekeeper. As quoted in All the Days of My Life, ch. 2 (1913)
