Dark Night

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or night:

    “It’s the old captain’s dark fate
    Who failed to find or force a strait
    In its two-thousand-mile coast;
    And his crew left him where he failed,
    And nothing came of all he sailed.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “This night has been so strange that it seemed
    As if the hair stood up on my head.
    From going-down of the sun I have dreamed
    That women laughing, or timid or wild,
    In rustle of lace or silken stuff,
    Climbed up my creaking stair.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
