jim"dark they were ..." a quote from where?
Is Ray's title original? It has the ring of a Shakespeare sonnet, the tone of a Milton verse, the resonance of the Bible even (King James version of course).

Mr. DarkA quick google search didn't turn up any quick answers, but you're right, the title is beautifully phrased. It is good enough to come from a classical writer; but Bradbury is good enough as a stylist, that it could very well be his own phraseology.

Doug SpauldingJim! Mr Dark's been looking for you. Hiding 'neath the street like that!
RB is as good a writer than any who have come before (and better than most), so there's no reason to think he
didn't come up with that.
Phraseology is a good word.
Buy you gotta know the territory!
