Day
Quotes
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others
The unpurged images of day recede;
The Emperor's drunken soldiery are abed;
Night resonance recedes, night-walkers' song
After great cathedral gong.
The Emperor's drunken soldiery are abed;
Night resonance recedes, night-walkers' song
After great cathedral gong.
The Winding Stair and Other Poems, 1933. Byzantium
The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.
Falls from the wings of Night,
As a feather is wafted downward
From an eagle in his flight.
The Day is Done
