Dark Clouds

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or clouds:

“I thought I heard the dark pounding its head
On a rock, crying: Who are the dead?”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)

“Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
