days of Ure

[mata hati]

What exactly were the Days of Ure, and what on earth were Halcyon Days ?

[Tichfield]

Do you mean Days of Yore, meaning "times past"?

Halcyon Days means "a time of peace and happiness".

[Octavius]

You probably mean 'days of yore'.
Yore means time long past and is a corruption of the middle english word for long ago, or year.

Halcyon is from the Latin/Greek for the kingfisher bird. A fabled bird, that was supposed to have had the power to calm the wind and the waves while it nested on the sea during the winter solstice. Hence, halcyon days are akin to a golden era when all was peacful and calm and tranquil.

More often both refer to simpler (childhood) times when worries were less.

Yes I did mean Yore though I didn't know how to spell it, Thanks!

Thank you Octavious for a splendid explanation - perhaps "they" could bring that old bird back to life to calm our modern day struggles!!
