Dark Spiral

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or spiral:

    “He saw the dark wainscot and timbered roof,
    The long tables, and the faces merry and keen;
    The College Eight and their trainer dining aloof,
    The Dons on the dais serene.”
    —Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)

    “What is art,
    But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
    When, graduating up in a spiral line
    Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
    It pushes toward the intense significance
    Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
    Art’s life,—and where we live, we suffer and toil.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
