Famous quotes containing the word darkness:
“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
—John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
“Your mind was wrought in cosmic solitude,
Through which careered an undulous pageantry
Of fiends and suns, darkness and boiling sea,
All held in ordered sway by beauty’s mood.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
