Famous quotes containing the words midnight and/or runners:

    at mothy curfew-tide,
    And at midnight when the noon-heat breathes it back from walls and leads,
    They’ve a way of whispering to me—fellow-wight who yet
    abide—
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    And Guidobaldo, when he made
    That grammar school of courtesies
    Where wit and beauty learned their trade
    Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
    Had sent no runners to and fro
    That he might learn the shepherds’ will.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
