Famous quotes containing the words night and/or plume:
“People who are born even-tempered, placid and untroubled—secure from violent passions or temptations to evil—those who have never needed to struggle all night with the Angel to emerge lame but victorious at dawn, never become great saints.”
—Eva Le Gallienne (b. 1899)
“In some of those dense fir and spruce woods there is hardly room for the smoke to go up. The trees are a standing night, and every fir and spruce which you fell is a plume plucked from night’s raven wing.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
