Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.
    Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    Waves sparkle and delight
    the weary eyes
    that never saw the sun fall in the sea
    nor the bright Pleiads rise.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    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)
