Softly along the road ordsprog

Softly along the road of evening, / In a twilight dim with rose, / Wrinkled with age, and drenched with dew, / Old Nod, the shepherd, goes.

Walter de La Mare

The darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.

Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825)

Jean Paul Richter

Give us Direction; the best of goodwill; Put us in touch with fair winds. Sing to us softly, hum the evening's song. Tell us what the blacksmith has done for you.

Jethro Tull (1674-)

For age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress, and as the evening twilight fades away, the sky is filled with stars, invisible by day.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Well, her face was so wrinkled it looked like seven miles of bad road. She had so many gold teeth . . . she used to have to sleep with her head in a safe.

W. C. Fields (1880-1946)

W. C. Fields

And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.

His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure. And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

I venerate old age; and I love not the man who can look without emotion upon the sunset of life, when the dusk of evening begins to gather over the watery eye, and the shadows of twilight grow broader and deeper upon the understanding.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Twilight: A time of pause when nature changes her guard. All living things would fade and die from too much light or too much dark, if twilight were not.

Howard Thurman (1900-1981)

Howard Thurman

Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;
Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair. . . .

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

William Wordsworth

As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.

Justice William Orville Douglas (1898-1980)

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.

These are the sort of numbers that should give extra leverage to the ECB (European Central Bank) to keep pressing rates higher, but we still believe the benign inflation picture will force them to adopt a softly, softly approach to tightening this year.

David Brown (1904-)

Every time we go into a road game we are focused on getting that hump off our back. It's something we do prepare for. We've never been good on the road, and we are turning some tables over with two wins in Hawaii and over Georgia in the Rose Garden. Things are coming along. We'll be OK.

A shepherd may be a very able, trusty, and good shepherd, without a sweetheart - better, perhaps, than with one. But what is he without his dog?
