The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper, Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars Letting in the light, peephole after peephole--- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.

About This Quote

William Wordsworth said, “The night sky is only a sort of carbon paper, blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars letting in the light, peephole after peephole- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things.” He was saying that some people want to say things are terrible when they are really not. He was saying that you should always try to see the positive side of things even if they are not. It is important to remember that even if things are bad sometimes, they can be better again.
