His Dark Materials/d%c3%a6mons

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or materials:

    My beautiful, my beautiful! That standest meekly by,
    With thy proudly-arched and glossy neck, and dark and fiery eye!
    Caroline Sheridan Norton (1808–1877)

    What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
