Famous quotes containing the words boy and/or darkness:
“What is the boy now, who has lost his ball,
What, what is he to do?”
—John Berryman (1914–1972)
“A Dungeon horrible, on all sides round
As one great Furnace flam’d, yet from those flames
No light, but rather darkness visible
Serv’d only to discover sights of woe,
Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
That comes to all; but torture without end”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
