Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or midnight:
“Lo, thus, as prostrate, In the dust I write
My hearts deep languor and my souls sad tears.
Yet why evoke the spectres of black night
To blot the sunshine of exultant years?”
—James Thomson (18341882)
“I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris and he;
I galloped, Dirck galloped, we galloped all three;
Good speed! cried the watch as the gate-bolts undrew,
Speed! echoed the wall to us galloping through.
Behind shut the postern, the lights sank to rest,
And into the midnight we galloped abreast.”
—Robert Browning (18121889)
