Glare

Famous quotes containing the word glare:

“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“He, in his developed manhood, stood,
A little sunburnt by the glare of life.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“The glare of that much-mentioned brilliance, love,
Broke out, to show
Its bright incipience sailing above,
Still promising to solve, and satisfy,
And set unchangeably in order.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
