Dark Blue Base

Famous quotes containing the words dark, blue and/or base:

    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)

    I think I noticed once
    T’was morning one sole street-lamp still bright-lit,
    Which, with a senile grin, like an old dunce,
    Vied the blue sky, and tried to rival it....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    For those who are base in judgement do not know the good they hold in their hands until they cast it off.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
