Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or continent:

    “A young man in the dark am I
    But a wild old man in the light
    That can make a cat laugh, or
    Can touch by mother wit
    Things hid in their marrow bones
    From time long passed away....”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Purity of race does not exist. Europe is a continent of energetic mongrels.
    —H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
