Dark Wanderer

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or wanderer:

    These are the arks, the trophies, I erect,
    That fortify thy name against old age;
    And these thy sacred virtues must protect
    Against the dark and Time’s consuming rage.
    Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    Not to find one’s way in a city may well be uninteresting and banal. It requires ignorance—nothing more. But to lose oneself in a city—as one loses oneself in a forest—that calls for a quite different schooling. Then, signboard and street names, passers-by, roofs, kiosks, or bars must speak to the wanderer like a cracking twig under his feet in the forest.
    Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
