Quotes about: Darkness

• 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.

• Reach me a gentian, give me a torch! Let me guide myself with the blue, forked torch of a flower down the darker and darker stairs, where blue is darkened on blueness even where Persephone goes, just now, from the frosted September to the sightless realm where darkness is awake upon the dark.

  Flower, Dark, Blue

  David Herbert Lawrence, “Bavarian Gentians”

• Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun. Stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spiraling round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in a darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted. So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core of nothingness, and yet not nothing.

  D. H. Lawrence

  Stars, Night, Darkness

• The near end of the street was rather dark and had mostly vegetable shops. Abundance of vegetables - piles of white and green fennel, like celery, and great sheaves of young, purplish, sea-dust-coloured artichokes . . . long strings of dried figs, mountains of big oranges, scarlet large peppers, a large slice of pumpkin, a great mass of colours and vegetable freshness. . . .

  D. H. Lawrence

  Dark, Vegetables, Sea

• Previously, even in Egypt, men had not learned to see straight. They fumbled in the dark, and didn't quite know where they were, or what they were. Like men in a dark room, they only felt their existence surging in the darkness of other creatures. We, however, have learned to see ourselves for what we are, as the sun sees us. The Kodak bears witness.

  Dark, Men, Egypt
