Dust Light Star

Famous quotes containing the words dust, light and/or star:

    “Commerce has set the mark of selfishness,
    The signet of its all-enslaving power,
    Upon a shining ore, and called it gold:
    Before whose image bow the vulgar great,
    The vainly rich, the miserable proud,
    The mob of peasants, nobles, priests, and kings,
    And with blind feelings reverence the power
    That grinds them to the dust of misery.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Sitting by a lamp more often brings
    Not peace, but other things.
    Beyond the light stand failure and remorse....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “I put the gold star up in the front window
    beside the flag. Alterations is what I know
    and what I did: hems, gussets and seams.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
