Balanced Gray

Famous quotes containing the words balanced and/or gray:

    [T]hat moment of evening when the light and the darkness are so evenly balanced that the constraint of day and the suspense of night neutralize each other, leaving absolute mental liberty. It is then that the plight of being alive becomes attenuated to its least possible dimensions.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    Nor second He, that rode sublime
    Upon the seraph-wings of Ecstasy
    The secrets of the Abyss to spy:
    —Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
