Darker

Famous quotes containing the word darker:

“One night, under cover of darkness, and further concealed in a most cunning disguisement, a desperate burglar slid into his happy home, and robbed them all of everything. And darker yet to tell, the blacksmith himself did ignorantly conduct this burglar into his family’s heart. It was the Bottle Conjurer! Upon the opening of that fatal cork, forth flew the fiend, and shrivelled up his home.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“But things get darker as we move
To ask them: Whom must we get to know
To die, so you live and we know?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
