Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or portal:

    “These are the arks, the trophies, I erect,
    That fortify thy name against old age;
    And these thy sacred virtues must protect
    Against the dark and Time’s consuming rage.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    “Some sepulcher, remote, alone,
    Against whose portal she hath thrown,
    In childhood, many an idle stone—
    Some tomb from out whose sounding door
    She ne’er shall force an echo more,
    Thrilling to think, poor child of sin!
    It was the dead who groaned within.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
