  A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
  And offers for short life, eternal liberty.

• Porque esta es la verdad sobre nuestra alma, pensó, que como un pez habita en mares profundos y navega entre oscuridades enhebrando su camino entre los troncos de hierbas gigantes, sobre espacios centelleantes de sol y más y más en la oscuridad, fría, profunda, inescrutable; de repente sale a la superficie y se divierte en las olas arrugadas por el viento; es decir, tiene una necesidad positiva de rozar, raspar, encenderse a sí misma, chismorreando.

  Wavy in the dusk lit by one large star.
  Lone on the fir-branch, his rattle-note unvaried,
  Brooding o'er the gloom, spins the brown eve-jar.

• La enfermedad generalmente comienza esa igualdad que la muerte completa; las distinciones que ponen a un hombre tan por encima de otro son muy poco percibidas en la penumbra de una cámara de enfermo, donde será vano esperar entretenimiento de los alegres, o instrucción de los sabios; donde toda la gloria humana es borrada, el ingenio es nublado, el razonador perplejo, y el héroe subyugado; donde el más alto y brillante de los seres mortales no encuentra nada que le quede sino la conciencia de la inocencia.

• Te duermes con un sueño de clima veraniego,
  te despiertas con el estruendo de la lluvia.
  No hay nada ahí fuera salvo plumas de hierba cargadas de gotas
  y aire lluvioso. La mesa de plástico de la terraza
  ha perdido tres patas de camino a la valla del jardín.
  Las montañas han tenido la sensatez de desaparecer.
  Es el temperamento celta: viento, luego torrentes, luego remordimientos.
  La gloria se eleva como una cortina sobre el agua lejana.
  La vieja casa de piedra, que nos ha guiado a través de la oscuridad,
  atraca en un charco de sombra propia.
  Esa grieta que se ensancha en la penumbra es como la buena suerte.
  Suerte, de la que ni tú ni el mañana podéis depender.

• To bear adversity with meek submission to the will of God; to endure chastisement with all long-suffering and joyfulness; to appear cheerful amid surrounding gloom, hopeful amidst desponding circumstances, happy in God when there is nothing else to make us happy; he who does this has indeed made great advances in the divine life.

• New Haven cultivates ... an open gloom that seems happy to acknowledge disrepair and the superfluity of appearance. ... I realized that what cramped the town was the weight of unwritten volumes: they scored lines of unfinished writing on every second face that walked the streets.

• Then a dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear. The sound was taken up by another dog, and then another and another, till, borne on the wind which now sighed softly through the Pass, a wild howling began, which seemed to come from all over the country, as far as the imagination could grasp it through the gloom of the night.

• There are no medium-sized trees in the deep forest. There are only the towering ones, whose canopy spreads across the sky. Below, in the gloom, there's light for nothing but mosses and ferns. But when a giant falls, leaving a little space ... then there's a race - between the trees on either side, who want to spread out, and the seedlings below, who race to grow up. Sometimes, you can make your own space.

• It must have meant something, though, that at this turn of my life I grabbed up a book. Because it was in books that I would find, for the next few years, my lovers. They were men, not boys. They were self-possessed and sardonic, with a ferocious streak in them, reserves of gloom.

• At times I feel it almost impossible not to despond entirely of there ever being a better, brighter day for us. None but those who experience it can know what it is - this constant, galling sense of cruel injustice and wrong. I cannot help feeling it very often, - it intrudes upon my happiest moments, and spreads a dark, deep gloom over everything.
