Dark Age Book

Famous quotes containing the words dark, age and/or book:

    It is better that, as scholars,
    They should think hard in the dark cuffs
    Of voluminous cloaks,
    And shave their heads and bodies.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    My flowery and green age was passing away, and I feeling a chill in
    the fires had been wasting my heart, for I was drawing near the
    hillside above the grave.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
