Dismal Light

Famous quotes containing the words dismal and/or light:

“My curiosity to see the melancholy spectacle of the executions was so strong that I could not resist it, although I was sensible that I would suffer much from it....

“And how much longer a story has science
Before she must put out the light on the children
And tell them the rest of the story is dreaming?”
