Gray Man

Famous quotes containing the words gray and/or man:

“And mimic desolation covers all.”
—Thomas Gray (1716–1771)

“When man has neither the strength to subdue his underworld powers—which are really the ancient powers of his old, superseded self; nor the wit to placate them with sacrifice and the burnt holocaust; then they come back at him, and destroy him again. Hence every new conquest of life means a “harrowing of Hell.””
—D.H. (David Herbert)
