Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

“I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
A glittering sword out of the east.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
