Darkened

Famous quotes containing the word darkened:

    Our young people are diseased with the theological problems of original sin, origin of evil, predestination, and the like. These never presented a practical difficulty to any man,—never darkened across any man’s road, who did not go out of his way to seek them. These are the soul’s mumps, and measles, and whooping- coughs, and those who have not caught them cannot describe their health or prescribe a cure. A simple mind will not know these enemies.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    One enemy, of many, who knows well
    Your heart is luminous
    In the watched dark, quivering through locks and caves,
    Will pull the thunderbolts
    To shut the sun, plunge, mount your darkened keys....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    He’ll find no friends here. Nothing but locked doors and darkened windows, locked hearts and bitter hatred. Let that, too, be part of the Frankenstein heritage.
    Willis Cooper, and Rowland V. Lee. Burgomaster (Lawrence Grant)
