Famous quotes containing the words follow and/or dark:

    “Farewell deare flowers, sweetly your time ye spent,
    Fit, while ye liv’d, for smell or ornament,
    And after death for cures.
    I follow straight without complaints or grief,
    Since if my sent be good, I care not, if
    It be as short as yours.”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “‘Who knocks?’ ‘I, who was beautiful,
    Beyond all dreams to restore,
    I from the roots of the dark thorn am hither,
    And knock on the door.’”
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
