Dark Spiral

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or spiral:

“So in the dark we hide the heart that bleeds,
And wait, and tend our agonizing seeds.”
—Countee Cullen (1903–1946)

“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)
