Night Stage

Famous quotes containing the words night and/or stage:

“The first Day’s Night had come—
And grateful that a thing
So terrible—had been endured—
I told my Soul to sing—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change: it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static; and its value and its weakness lie in being so: but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.”
—Freya Stark (b. 1893–1993)
