Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

    But most thro’ midnight streets I hear
    How the youthful Harlots curse
    Blasts the new-born Infants tear
    And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    We devastate them unreligiously,
    And coldly ask their pottage, not their love.
    Therefore they shove us from them, yield to us
    Only what to our griping toil is due;
    But the sweet affluence of love and song,
    The rich results of the divine consents
    Of man and earth, of world beloved and lover;
    The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
