Dim

Famous quotes containing the word dim:

    my brain
    Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
    Of unknown modes of being; o’er my thoughts
    There hung a darkness, call it solitude
    Or blank desertion.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    When the spirit brings light into our minds, it dispels darkness. We see it, as we do that of the sun at noon, and need not the twilight of reason to show it us. This light from heaven is strong, clear, and pure carries its own demonstration with it; and we may as naturally take a glow-worm to assist us to discover the sun, as to examine the celestial ray by our dim candle, reason.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    He bore her away in his arms,
    The handsomest young man there,
    And his neck and his breast and his arms
    Were drowned in her long dim hair.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
