Famous quotes containing the words valley and/or darkness:

    There is not in the wide world a valley so sweet
    As that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet;
    Thomas Moore (1779–1852)

    Persephone herself is but a voice
    or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark
    of the arms Plutonic, and pierced with the passion of dense gloom,
    among the splendor of torches of darkness, shedding darkness on the
    lost bride and her groom.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
