Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or cloud:
“This seems a long while ago, and yet it happened since Milton wrote his Paradise Lost. But its antiquity is not the less great for that, for we do not regulate our historical time by the English standard, nor did the English by the Roman, nor the Roman by the Greek.... From this September afternoon, and from between these now cultivated shores, those times seemed more remote than the dark ages.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To go where? In that Dark—that—in that God? a
radiance? A Lord in the Void? Like an eye in the black cloud in a
dream? Adonoi at last, with you?”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
