HALLOWEEN QUOTES

 

Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world.

Be wary then; best safety lies in fear

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake....
