Dark Air War

Famous quotes containing the words dark, air and/or war:

    “While I wrought out these fitful Danaan rhymes,
    My heart would brim with dreams about the times
    When we bent down above the fading coals
    And talked of the dark folk who live in souls
    Of passionate men, like bats in the dead trees....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Now Air is hush’d, save where the weak-ey’d Bat,
    With short shrill Shriek flits by on leathern Wing,
    Or where the Beetle winds
    His small but sullen Horn,”
    —William Collins (1721–1759)

    “As a war in years of peace
    Or in war an armistice
    Or a father’s death, just so
    Our parting was not visualized....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
