Ted Hughes Quotes About Darkness

Quotes about: Darkness

• The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff. How far had he walked? Nobody knows. Where did he come from? Nobody knows. How was he made? Nobody knows. Taller than a house the Iron Man stood at the top of the cliff, at the very brink, in the darkness.

  Ted Hughes

  Men, Iron, House

• This house has been far out at sea all night, The woods crashing through darkness, the booming hills, Winds stampeding the fields under the window Floundering black astride and blinding wet Till day rose; then under an orange sky The hills had new places, and wind wielded Blade-light, luminous black and emerald, Flexing like the lens of a mad eye.

  Ted Hughes

  Eye, Night, Orange

• The deeps are cold: In that darkness camaraderie does not hold: Nothing touches but, clutching, devours.
