Famous quotes containing the words false and/or lights:
“The wisest definition of poetry the poet will instantly prove false by setting aside its requisitions.”

“Thus while I sit and sigh the day
With all his borrow’d lights away,
Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
As sudden lights do sleepy men,
So they by their bright rays awake me.”
—Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
