Dark

Famous quotes containing the word dark:

“On the green they watched their sons
Playing till too dark to see,
As their fathers watched them once,
As my father once watched me;”

the dark ships move, the dark ships move,
their bright ironical names
like jests of kindness on a murderer’s mouth;”

But a wild old man in the light
That can make a cat laugh, or
Can touch by mother wit
Things hid in their marrow bones
From time long passed away....””
