Night Shade

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or shade:

“All night I’ve held your hand,
as if you had

its hackneyed speech, its homicidal eye—
and dragged me home alive. . . .”

it is true, they missed never a line
of the suave turn of the head
or subtle shade of lowered eye-lid
or eye-lids half-raised.”
