Light Alloy

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or alloy:

    O thou immortal light and heat!
    Whose hand so shines through all this frame,
    That by the beauty of the seat,
    We plainly see who made the same.
    Seeing thy seed abides in me,
    Dwell thou in it, and I in thee.
    Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    I live in the angle of a leaden wall, into whose composition was poured a little alloy of bell-metal. Often, in the repose of my mid-day, there reaches my ears a confused tintinnabulum from without. It is the noise of my contemporaries.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
