Gloom Quotes - Page 8

• Mi viento se ha vuelto del norte amargo, que antes era un sur tan suave; Mi cielo, que brillaba tan soleado, Con brumosa penumbra se ha nublado Mis alegres hojas verdes son amarillo-negras, Sobre el húmedo suelo otoñal; Porque el amor, partido una vez, vuelve No más, no más.

  Arthur Hugh Clough

• Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe.

  Henri Frederic Amiel

  Life, Thoughtful, Night

• When you enter a grove peopled with ancient trees, higher than the ordinary, and shutting out the sky with their thickly inter-twined branches, do not the stately shadows of the wood, the stillness of the place, and the awful gloom of this doomed cavern then strike you with the presence of a deity?

• One of the saddest sights of the slums is to see the thrifty wife of the working man, with her rosy brood of children, used to country air and sunshine, used to space, privacy, good surroundings, cleanliness, quiet, shut up amid the noise and dirt and confusion, in the gloom of the slum.

• There is no single formula for good sentence. An invisible integument that gives the sentence wholeness and musicality, sometimes. But other times, the formula is almost purely one of context. And yet other times, of sheer precision of meaning. This is a good sentence: "Just as he was settling into the warm mud of alcoholic gloom, Shrike caught his arm." "Warm mud of alcoholic gloom" is exact and right and accurate.

• The world was held in a savage gloom - cold and intolerable. Outside, all was quiet - quiet! From the dark room behind me, came the occasional, soft thud of falling matter - fragments of rotting stone. So time passed, and night grasped the world, wrapping it in wrappings of impenetrable blackness.

• Un primatólogo me dijo que se puede encontrar amor en los ojos de un orangután. Es ese viejo brillo de los primates que se remonta a miles de años y puede penetrar en la más profunda penumbra de la selva. Nada puede disuadir ese brillo, por eso los primates hemos sobrevivido tanto tiempo para encontrarnos y procrear. En la cárcel, la supervivencia del romanticismo no es fácil, pero encuentra un camino... En Canadá se han sucedido los romances entre presos y mujeres guardias, enfermeras, bibliotecarias y una monja católica que se casó con el recluso después de que éste se divorciara de su mujer.

• Each state of the human mind has some parable in the physical creation by which it is shadowed forth; nor is it only artists and poets, but even the most abstract thinkers that have drawn from this source. Lively activity we name fire; time is a stream that rolls on, sweeping all before it; eternity is a circle; a mystery is hid in midnight gloom, and truth dwells in the sun. Nay, I begin to believe that even the future destiny of the human race is prefigured in the dark oracular utterances of bodily creation.

• Perséfone no es más que una voz
  o una oscuridad invisible envuelta en la oscuridad más profunda
  de los brazos plutónicos, y atravesada por la pasión de la densa penumbra,
  entre el esplendor de las antorchas de las tinieblas, derramando oscuridad sobre la
  novia perdida y su novio.

• A cigarette is a roll of paper, tobacco, and drugs, with a small fire on one end and a large fool at the other. Some of its chief benefits are cancer of the lips and stomach, softening of the brain, funeral procesions, and families shrouded in gloom and grief. Although a great many people know this, they still smoke in order to appear sophisticated.

• Creo que pensar continuamente en el lado oscuro crea melancolía, desesperación, ira y odio, y eso sólo contribuye a la oscuridad. Así que, en lugar de eso, tenemos que pensar en la belleza del mundo, y también enviar amor y compasión a todos los seres de este mundo. No sólo a las personas que nos gustan, sino también a las que nos resultan difíciles. Porque necesitan profundamente la compasión.
