Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or night:

    —the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
    and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
    colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
    and, lulled within, a family with pets,
    —and looked and looked our infant sight away.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)

    The night is a skin pulled over the head of day that the day may be in torment.
    Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)
