Dark Spiral

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or spiral:

    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)

    Year after year beheld the silent toil
    That spread his lustrous coil;
    Still as the spiral grew,
    He left the past year’s dwelling for the new,
    Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
    Built up its idle door,
    Stretched in his last-found home, and knew the old no more.
    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
