Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

“Hail holy Light, of spring of Heav’n first-born,
Or of th’ Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblam’d? since God is Light,
And never but in unapproached Light
Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence in create.
Or hear’st thou rather pure Ethereal stream,
Whose Fountain who shall tell?”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

“He sighed for Eden, and would often say,
“Ah! what bright days were those!””
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“At certain times, men regard poetry merely as a bright flame, but to women it was, and always will be, a warm fire.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
