Famous quotes containing the word darker:

“Sweet Love of youth, forgive, if I forget thee,
While the world’s tide is bearing me along;
Sterner desires and darker hopes beset me,
Hopes which obscure, but cannot do thee wrong.”

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes.
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.”

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