Whose cold hand guides the youngling year
Down misty roads of mire and rime,
Before thy pale and fitful face
The shrill wind shifts the clouds apace
Through skies the morning scarce may climb.
Thine eyes are thick with heavy tears,
But lit with hopes that light the year’s.” ~ Algernon Charles Swinburne - “The effort of the economist is to “see,” to picture the interplay of economic elements. The more clearly cut these elements appear in his vision, the better; the more elements he can grasp and hold in his mind at once, the better. The economic world is a misty region. The first explorers used unaided vision. Mathematics is the lantern by which what before was dimly visible now looms up in firm, bold outlines. The old phantasmagoria disappear. We see better. We also see further.” ~ Irving Fisher

- “To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and away. And the high soul climbs the high way, and the low soul gropes the low. And in between, on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro.

Malfoy could go to Dumbledore at any moment.

- “The painting was framed in a misty view of sky, sea, and valley. Newt’s painting was small, black, and warty. It consisted of scratches made in a black, gummy impasto.

Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!” ~ George Bernard Shaw

- “I haven’t a clue about the biology or the psychology involved when a person dissolves into tears, but it is quite fascinating to note what turns them on. There are wives who can cascade over a late husband or a burned dinner, and equally pour tears of joy over a new bonnet or a renovated bathroom…. A while ago I took a ship back from Europe. Amid the tumbling confetti … I found myself misty-eyed watching a young lady waving a tearful farewell to her boyfriend on the dock. I couldn’t figure out if I was crying at her plight, or in delight that he wasn’t coming along with us.” ~ Malcolm Forbes
- “Fog everywhere. Fog up the river where it flows among green airs and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tiers of shipping, and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city…. Chance people on the bridges peeping over the parapets into a nether sky of fog, with fog all round them, as if they were up in a balloon and hanging in the misty clouds.” ~ Charles Dickens

- “Do you remember what Darwin says about music? He claims that the power of producing and appreciating it existed among the human race long before the power of speech was arrived at. Perhaps that is why we are so subtly influenced by it. There are vague memories in our souls of those misty centuries when the world was in its childhood.’ That’s a rather broad idea,’ I remarked. One’s ideas must be as broad as Nature if they are to interpret Nature,’ he answered.” ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
-

- “The Lighthouse was then a silvery, misty-looking tower with a yellow eye, that opened suddenly, and softly in the evening. Now— James looked at the Lighthouse. He could see the white-washed rocks; the tower, stark and straight; he could see that it was barred with black and white; he could see windows in it; he could even see washing spread on the rocks to dry. So that was the Lighthouse, was it? No, the other was also the Lighthouse. For nothing was simply one thing. The other Lighthouse was true too.” ~ Virginia Woolf
- “One naked star has waded through
The purple shallows of the night,
And faltering as falls the dew
It drips its misty light.” ~ James Whitcomb Riley - “But still when the mists of doubt prevail,
And we lie becalmed by the shores of age,
We hear from the misty troubled shore
The voce of children gone before.
Drawing the soul to its anchorage.” ~ Bret Harte - “I remember going foraging for breakfast in St. Louis once. I saw this one girl sitting in front of the venue, and she made this pink T-shirt with a big heart in the middle of it and a misty picture of our guitarist Mark [Potter]. She was so embarrassed when she saw me. And I was trying desperately not to laugh.” ~ Guy Garvey
-

- “The clouds are scudding across the moon,
A misty light is on the sea;
The wind in the shrouds has a wintry tune,
And the foam is flying free.” ~ Bayard Taylor - “The only thing I can think of is my favorite album at the moment by this guy called Father John Misty, and the album is called I Love You, Honeybear. It’s just brilliant. It’s the album I’m currently obsessed with. It is original, and the lyrics are fantastic and [it’s] brilliant. So that’s blowing me away.” ~ Daniel Radcliffe
- “I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing “Misty Mountain Hop” at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I wasn’t allowed to play any instruments; I could only be the singer because I was a girl.” ~ Victoria Legrand
-
“Misty May was looking for a partner, I was looking to stay at home, and the beach just came calling.” ~ Kerri Walsh
- “I tended to listen to doo-wop, but my grandmother would always have the radio on all day and she’d start with Yiddish and then move on to gospel and later to “make-believe” ballroom music. I got to hear all kinds of music and my mother would get up to go to work listening to country music. That was her alarm clock. My dad was a jazz lover and listened to the man who wrote “Misty”, Errol Garner. He loved piano players, so I got to listen to that as well.” ~ Richie Havens
- “At the point when I switched from indoor to beach I had been playing indoor for 12 years. And, to be honest, to make a living indoors you have to go overseas. I am such a family girl and just wanted to be home, so that didn’t appeal to me. Misty May was looking for a partner, I was looking to stay at home, and the beach just came calling. And mostly I stuck with it because I loved the challenge of it, but also just the autonomy of it. It’s two on two, just you and your partner, you’re not one of the herd. And the lifestyle is unbeatable.” ~ Kerri Walsh
