Midnight Man

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or man:

“Ye elves of hills, brooks, standing lakes, and groves,
And ye that on the sands with printless foot
Do chase the ebbing Neptune, and do fly him
When he comes back; you demi-puppets that
By moonshine do the green sour ringlets make,
Whereof the ewe not bites; and you whose pastime
Is to make midnight mushrooms,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Her man falling asleep,
limp from dragging a plow sunk in mud,
the slattern curses the rains,
her pleasures unfinished.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
