Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or night:
“The Pastthe dark unfathomd retrospect!
The teeming gulfthe sleepers and the shadows!
The past! the infinite greatness of the past!
For what is the present after all but a growth out of the past?”

“Why must it always end this way?
A dais with woman reading, with the ruckus of her hair
And all that is unsaid about her pulling us back to her, with her
Into the silence that night alone cant explain.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
