Darkness

Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

“in darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.”

Hale dead and deathless do the women of the hill
Love for ever meridian through the courters’ trees
And the daughters of darkness flame like Fawkes fires still.”

And falling with my weight of cares
Upon the great world’s altar-stairs
That slope thro’ darkness up to God,”
