Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    the trouble lies in pointing
    At any stars. For one’s own finger aims
    Always elsewhere: the man beside one seems
    Never to get the point. “No! The bright star
    Just above my fingertip.”
    John Hollander (b. 1929)

    Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
    That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
    And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
    The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
    So quick bright things come to confusion.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Thou blossom bright with autumn dew,
    And colored with the heaven’s own blue,
    William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
