Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or continent:
“—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“On the Continent people have good food; in England people have good table manners.”
—George Mikes (1912–1987)
