Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
    And from that full meridian of my glory
    I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
    Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
    And no man see me more.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    There is no death! The stars go down
    To rise upon some other shore,
    And bright in heaven’s jewelled crown
    They shine forevermore.
    John Luckey McCreery (1835–1906)

    The bright old day now dawns again; the cry runs through the the land,
    In England there shall be dear bread—in Ireland, sword and brand;
    And poverty, and ignorance, shall swell the rich and grand,
    So, rally round the rulers with the gentle iron hand,
    Of the fine old English Tory days;
    Hail to the coming time!
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
