Nights

Famous quotes containing the word nights:

    I knew that I had seen, had seen at last
    That girl my unremembering nights hold fast
    Or else my dreams that fly
    If I should rub an eye,
    And yet in flying fling into my meat
    A crazy juice that makes the pulses beat....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    It needed the heavy nights of drenching weather
    To make him return to people, to find among them
    Whatever it was that he found in their absence,
    A pleasure, an indulgence, an infatuation.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The clock runs down
    timeless and still.
    The days and nights turn hours to years
    and water in a gutter marks the circle of another world
    hating, resentful, and afraid
    stagnant, and green, and full of slimy things.
    Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
