Bright Light

Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or light:

    “Have you seen but a bright lily grow
    Before rude hands have touch’d it?
    Have you mark’d but the fall of the snow
    Before the soil hath smutch’d it?
    Have you felt the wool of the beaver,
    Or swan’s down ever?
    Or have smelt of the bud of the brier,
    Or the nard in the fire?
    Or have tasted the bag of the bee?
    O so white, O so soft, O so sweet is she!”
    —Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    “When the light was extinguished,
    She covered me warm,
    And she prayed to the angels
    To keep me from harm—”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
