Famous quotes containing the words darker and/or ages:
“But things get darker as we move
To ask them: Whom must we get to know
To die, so you live and we know?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“This world has many rings, like Saturn, and we live now on the outmost of them all. None can say deliberately that he inhabits the same sphere, or is contemporary, with the flower which his hands have plucked, and though his feet may seem to crush it, inconceivable spaces and ages separate them, and perchance there is no danger that he will hurt it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
