Ebon Aspect

Famous quotes containing the words ebon and/or aspect:

    Far star that tickles for me my sensitive plate
    And fries a couple of ebon atoms white....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The death of a dear friend, wife, brother, lover, which seemed nothing but privation, somewhat later assumes the aspect of a guide or genius; for it commonly operates revolutions in our way of life, terminates an epoch of infancy or of youth which was waiting to be closed, breaks up a wonted occupation, or a household, or style of living, and allows for the formation of new ones more friendly to the growth of character.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
