Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Day
What is a day to an immortal soul?
A breath, no more.
T. B. Aldrich.—The Metempsychosis.
O beautiful, awful summer day,
What hast thou given, what taken away?
Life and death, and love and hate,
Homes made happy or desolate,
Hearts made sad or gay!
Longfellow.—Sundown.
One day, with life and heart,
Is more than time enough to find a world.
Longfellow.—Columbus.
