Damp Quotations
There is a sort of jealousy which needs very little fire; it is hardly a passion, but a blight bred in the cloudy, damp despondency of uneasy egoism.
George Eliot

Despair is the damp of hell, as joy is the serenity of heaven.
John Donne

To die is as if one's eyes had been put out and one cannot see anything any more. Perhaps it is like being shut in a cellar. One is abandoned by all. They have slammed the door and are gone. One does not see anything and notices only the damp smell of putrefaction.
Edvard Munch

Derek Jacobi

My heart is in a world of water and crystal, My clothes are damp in this time of spring rains.
Du Fu
