Famous quotes containing the word bright:
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as eer I had beheldin front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (17701850)
“She ran down the stair
A twelve-year-old darling
And laughing and calling
She tossed her bright hair;”
—John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)
“Once at thy Feast, I saw thee Pearle-like stand
Tween Heaven and Earth, where Heavens Bright glory all
In streams fell on thee, as a floodgate and
Like Sun Beams through thee on the World to Fall.
Oh! Sugar sweet then! My Deare sweet Lord, I see
Saints Heaven-lost Happiness restord by thee.”
—Edward Taylor (16451729)
