Smoke Haze

Famous quotes containing the words smoke and/or haze:

    If in that Syrian garden, ages slain,
    You sleep, and know not you are dead in vain,
    Nor even in dreams behold how dark and bright
    Ascends in smoke and fire by day and night

    Sleep well and see no morning, son of man.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    Here is what sometimes happened to me: after spending the first part of the night at my desk—that part when night trudges heavily uphill—I would emerge from the trance of my task at the exact moment when night had reached the summit and was teetering on that crest, ready to roll down into the haze of dawn....
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
