Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

“Dark is my day whiles her fair light I miss,
And dead my life, that wants such lively bliss.”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

“Lap me in soft Lydian airs,
Married to immortal verse,
Such as the meeting soul may pierce
In notes with many a winding bout
Of linked sweetness long drawn out,
With wanton heed and giddy cunning,
The melting voice through mazes running,
Untwisting all the chains that tie
The hidden soul of harmony;”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
