Island Nights

Famous quotes containing the words island and/or nights:

    “They all came, some wore sentiments
    Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
    Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
    Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
    Politely clearing its throat....”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “As for the nights I warn you the nights are dangerous
    The wind changes at night and the dreams come

    It is very cold
    there are strange stars near Arcturus

    Voices are crying an unknown name in the sky”
    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
