This part of England had not yet been deforested to feed the fleets and factories that had sprung up in the major cities. The woodlands were still pristine and other-worldly, scored with small cartways half-buried by overhanging branches thick with leaves. In the gathering shade the trees were wreathed in vapor and mystery, like sentinels for a world of druids and warlocks and unicorns. A brown owl glided over the lane, mothlike in the darkening sky.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lisa Kleypas" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lisa-kleypas/it-was-almost-twilight-long-shadows-of-oaks-and-chestnuts-crossing/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34f/lisa-kleypas-111_fairytale-creatures_it-was-almost-twilight-long-shadows-of-o_177186.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34f/lisa-kleypas-111_fairytale-creatures_it-was-almost-twilight-long-shadows-of-o_177186.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34f/lisa-kleypas-111_fairytale-creatures_it-was-almost-twilight-long-shadows-of-o_177186.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It was almost twilight, long shadows of oaks and chestnuts crossing the unpaved road leading away from the…” — Lisa Kleypas", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Nothing is clear now. Something must be the matter with my way of viewing things. I have no middle view. Either I fix on a detail and see it as thought it were magnified -- a leaf with all its veins perceived, the fine hairs on a man's hands -- or else the world recedes and becomes blurred, artificial, indefinite, an abstract painting of a world. The darkening sky is hugely blue, gashed with rose, blood, flame from the volcano or wound or flower of the lowering sun. The wavering green, the sea of grass, piercingly bright.

Maybe you think you should go home, where these bad things do not happen.” “Do you want me to go?” I ask, feeling very insecure. I couldn’t blame him, I realize with huge sadness. We’re in a real mess. Perhaps the best thing would be for me to go away and never come back. Luca’s lips tighten into a hard line. Slowly, he shakes his head. “It’s hard to know what’s best,” he says. “But I do not want you to go.” “I don’t want to go either,” I say in a whisper. He takes in a deep breath and lets it out again. We stand there silent, because we don’t know what more to say. I realize that shadows are stretching across the terrace. The air is milder, an evening breeze blowing softly. There’s a rustling sound from the cypress trees in the garden below, and we look over to see the first few bats emerging from the branches, circling slowly in the darkening sky. I think we’re both grateful to have something else to concentrate on. We walk across the terrace and lean on the stone balustrade, elbows almost but not quite touching. And we watch the black shapes rise and fall, the red streaks of sunset fading from the sky, and a clear white curve of moon rising slowly behind the dark silhouettes of the trees.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Lauren Henderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/lauren-henderson/it-is-eerie-and-uncanny-how-luca-has-the-ability-to-read-my-mind-will/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/365/lauren-henderson-6308_bad-thing_it-is-eerie-and-uncanny-how-luca-has-the_930710.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/365/lauren-henderson-6308_bad-thing_it-is-eerie-and-uncanny-how-luca-has-the_930710.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/365/lauren-henderson-6308_bad-thing_it-is-eerie-and-uncanny-how-luca-has-the_930710.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“It is eerie and uncanny how Luca has the ability to read my mind. “Will you go back now to London…” — Lauren Henderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“Now comes the darkening sky and a cold wind that passes right through you, as though you are not there, it passes through you as though it does not care whether you are alive or dead, for you will be gone and the wind will still be there...”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Hannah Kent" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/hannah-kent/now-comes-the-darkening-sky-and-a-cold-wind-that-passes-right-through/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/11f/hannah-kent-4646_cold-wind_now-comes-the-darkening-sky-and-a-cold-w_3192783.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/11f/hannah-kent-4646_cold-wind_now-comes-the-darkening-sky-and-a-cold-w_3192783.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/11f/hannah-kent-4646_cold-wind_now-comes-the-darkening-sky-and-a-cold-w_3192783.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Now comes the darkening sky and a cold wind that passes right through you, as though you are not there, it…” — Hannah Kent", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/darkening-sky/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/darkening-sky/", "name": "Darkening Sky Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/darkening-sky/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/34f/lisa-kleypas-111_fairytale-creatures_it-was-almost-twilight-long-shadows-of-o_177186.png" }, "description": "Browse 4 Darkening Sky quotes by 4 authors.
