Famous quotes containing the words feast and/or day:
“The sacrifice to Legba was completed; the Master of the Crossroads had taken the loas’ mysterious routes back to his native Guinea.
Meanwhile, the feast continued. The peasants were forgetting their misery: dance and alcohol numbed them, carrying away their shipwrecked conscience in the unreal and shady regions where the savage madness of the African gods lay waiting.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
“The whole of the day should not be daytime; there should be one hour, if not more, which the day did not bring forth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
