Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or night:

    Their school a crowd, his master solitude;
    Through Jonathan Swift’s dark grove he passed, and there
    Plucked bitter wisdom that enriched his blood.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Around, the night drops swiftly down
    Its veils; does not condemn
    Or praise the different actions done.
    The hour that strikes across the town
    Caresses all and injures none
    As sleep approaches them.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
