Midnight Lullaby

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or lullaby:

    “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
    Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
    As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

    “A solitary traveller can sleep from state to state, from day to night, from day to day, in the long womb of its controlled interior. It is the cradle that never stops rocking after the lullaby is over. It is the biggest sleeping tablet in the world, and no one need ever swallow the pill, for it swallows them.”
    —Lisa St. Aubin de TerĂ¡n (b. 1953)
