Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
    Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    To the man-in-the-street, who, I’m sorry to say,
    Is a keen observer of life,
    The word “Intellectual” suggests straight away
    A man who’s untrue to his wife.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
