Dark Quickening

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or quickening:

    Between the dark and the daylight,
    When the night is beginning to lower,
    Comes a pause in the day’s occupations,
    That is known as the Children’s Hour.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Thus change the forms of being. Thus arise
    Races of living things, glorious in strength,
    And perish, as the quickening breath of God
    Fills them, or is withdrawn.
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
