The first set of quotes, and some poems, for this week will be all about Halloween. And there’s a lot! All of them culled from The Quote Garden which included some poems by Nicholas Gordon from poemsforfree.com.
Stir the fire till it lowe
How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne! ~George Croly

Backward, turn backward,
O Time, in your flight
make me a child again
just for to-night! ~Elizabeth Akers Allen
They that are born on Halloween shall see more than other folk. ~Saying of unknown origin
You wouldn’t believe
On All Hallow Eve
What lots of fun we can make,
With apples to bob,
And nuts on the hob,
And a ring-and-thimble cake. ~Carolyn Wells
Being in a band you can wear whatever you want – it’s like an excuse for Halloween everyday. ~Gwen Stefani
On Halloween, witches come true;
Wild ghosts escape from dreams.
Each monster dances in the park…. ~Nicholas Gordon, poemsforfree.com
A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man awoke in the night. ~J.M. Barrie
