Dark Age Book

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

    An American, a Negro ... two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)

    My age fallen away like white swaddling
    Floats in the middle distance, becomes
    An inhabited cloud.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Fowls in the frith,
    Fishes in the flood,
    And I must wax wod:
    Much sorrow I walk with
    For best of bone and blood.
    —Unknown. Fowls in the Frith. . .
