Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark night, dark and/or night:

    Dark night, that from the eye his function takes,
    The ear more quick of apprehension makes;
    Wherein it doth impair the seeing sense
    It pays the hearing double recompense.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O conspiracy,
    Sham’st thou to show thy dang’rous brow by night,
    When evils are most free? O then, by day
    Where wilt thou find a cavern dark enough
    To mask thy monstrous visage?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is the good of a man and he
    Alone and alone, with a speckled shin?
    I would that I drank with my love on my knee,
    Between two barrels at the inn.
    Oro, oro!
    To-morrow night I will break down the door.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
