Dark

Famous quotes containing the word dark:

“The Past—the dark unfathom’d retrospect!
The teeming gulf—the sleepers and the shadows!
The past! the infinite greatness of the past!
For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?”

That fortify thy name against old age;
And these thy sacred virtues must protect
Against the dark and Time’s consuming rage.”

Your perfect body and your pompous gait,
Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate,”
