Dark Spiral

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or spiral:

“I thought I heard the dark pounding its head
On a rock, crying: Who are the dead?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Year after year beheld the silent toil
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still as the spiral grew,
He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door,
Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
