Darker

Famous quotes containing the word darker:

“Sun-girt City! thou hast been
Ocean’s child, and then his queen;
Now is come a darker day,
And thou soon must be his prey,”

To ask them: Whom must we get to know
To die, so you live and we know?”

“So summer comes in the end to these few stains
And the rust and rot of the door through which she went.
The house is empty. But here is where she sat
To comb her dewy hair, a touchless light,
Perplexed by its darker iridescences.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
