Darkness

Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

“Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restor’d;
Light dies before thy uncreating word:
Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
And universal darkness buries all.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

“to these
Hale dead and deathless do the women of the hill
Love for ever meridian through the courters’ trees
And the daughters of darkness flame like Fawkes fires still.”

“in darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.”
