Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

“The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.”

“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)
