Midnight Voices

Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or voices:

    Hell in a horn of sulphur and the cloven myth,
    All heaven in a midnight of the sun,
    A serpent fiddled in the shaping-time.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    And in counterpoint, from other windows,
    the effort to be merry—ay, maracas!
    Msibilant, intricate—the voices wailing pleasure,
    arriving perhaps at joy, late, after sets
    have been switched off, and silences
    are dark windows?
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
