Island Light St

Famous quotes containing the words light st, island and/or light:

    Sitting by a lamp more often brings
    Not peace, but other things.
    Beyond the light stand failure and remorse....

    By a thin sea of flesh
    And a bone coast ...

    But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
    Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
    There’s a light and a shadow on every man
    Who at last attains his lifted mark—
    Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
    Elate he never can be;
    He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
    Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
    Glides white through the phosphorus sea.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
