Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! Boys and girls tumbling in the street, and playing, were moving jewels. I knew not that they were born or should die; but all things abided eternally as they were in their proper places.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)

“As for the nights I warn you the nights are dangerous
The wind changes at night and the dreams come

It is very cold
there are strange stars near Arcturus

Voices are crying an unknown name in the sky”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

“We are late
but come again,
after long absence:
we have lain
with strange lovers.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
