Famous quotes containing the word darkness:
“Lest darkness fall and time fall
In a long night when learned arteries
Mounting the ice and sum of barbarous time
Shall yield, without essence, perfect accident.
We are the eyelids of defeated caves.”

The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest consequence.”
