Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    “I sprang to the stirrup, and Joris and he;
    I galloped, Dirck galloped, we galloped all three;
    “Good speed!” cried the watch as the gate-bolts undrew,
    “Speed!” echoed the wall to us galloping through.
    Behind shut the postern, the lights sank to rest,
    And into the midnight we galloped abreast.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “A man may appear learned, without talking Sentences; as in his ordinary Gesture he discovers he can Dance, tho’ he does not cut Capers.”
