Smoky

Famous quotes containing the word smoky:

    We’ve looked and looked, but after all where are we?
    Do we know any better where we are,
    And how it stands between the night tonight
    And a man with a smoky lantern chimney?
    How different from the way it ever stood?
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We are wearied of our huts
    And the smoky smell of our garments.
    We are sick with desire of the sun
    And the grass on the mountains.
    —Unknown. The Grass on the Mountain (l. 11–14)

    In vain thou kindlest all thy smoky fire,
    For virtue hath this better lesson taught,
    Within myself to seek my only hire,
    Desiring nought but how to kill desire.
    Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
