Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or night:

    It is better that, as scholars,
    They should think hard in the dark cuffs
    Of voluminous cloaks,
    And shave their heads and bodies.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    What were our praise to them? They eat
    Quiet’s wild heart, like daily meat;
    Who when night thickens are afloat
    On dappled skins in a glass boat,
    Far out under a windless sky;
    While over them birds of Aengus fly....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
