Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or cry:
“The iron tongue of midnight hath told twelve.
Lovers, to bed; ‘tis almost fairy time.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
““Vengeance upon the murderers,” the cry goes up,
“Vengeance for Jacques Molay.” In cloud-pale rags, or in lace,
The rage-driven, rage-tormented, and rage-hungry troop,
Trooper belabouring trooper, biting at arm or at face,
Plunges towards nothing, arms and fingers spreading wide
For the embrace of nothing....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
