Dust Light Star

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

    ‘Tis no sinister nor awkward claim
    Picked from the wormholes of long-vanished days,
    Nor from the dust of old oblivion raked.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Stern Daughter of the Voice of God!
    O Duty! if that name thou love,
    Who art a light to guide, a rod
    To check the erring, and reprove;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    Events, actions arise, that must be sung, that will sing themselves. Who can doubt, that poetry will revive and lead in a new age, as the star in the constellation Harp, which now flames in our zenith, astronomers announce, shall one day be the pole- star for a thousand years?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
