Shadows

Famous quotes containing the word shadows:

“Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“Like strange mechanical grotesques,
Making fantastic arabesques,
The shadows raced across the blind.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“The forward Youth that would appear
Must now forsake his Muses dear,
Nor in the Shadows sing
His Numbers languishing.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
