Famous quotes containing the word gloomy:

    “And if joy were not on the earth,
    There were an end of change and birth,
    And Earth and Heaven and Hell would die,
    And in some gloomy barrow lie
    Folded like a frozen fly....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ““And wisdom is a butterfly
    And not a gloomy bird of prey....””
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “There exists in a great part of the Northern people a gloomy diffidence in the moral character of the government. On the broaching of this question, as general expression of despondency, of disbelief that any good will accrue from a remonstrance on an act of fraud and robbery, appeared in those men to whom we naturally turn for aid and counsel. Will the American government steal? Will it lie? Will it kill?—We ask triumphantly.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
