“Days begin and end in the dead of night. They are not shaped long, in the manner of things which lead to ends - arrow, road, man's life on earth. They are shaped round, in the manner of things eternal and stable - sun, world, God.” MenWorldLongEndsEarthNightTimeSunEternalRoundsStableArrows Author:Jean Giono
“All civilized people see the day beginning at dawn or a little after or a long time after or whatever time their work begins; this they lengthen according to their work, during what they call 'all day long'; and end it when they close their eyes. It is they who say the days are long. On the contrary, the days are round.” PeopleLittlesLongEndsEyeWorkLong TimeRoundsContraryDawnCivilized Author:Jean Giono
