Light Curves

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or curves:

    And I live on, but in grief and self-contempt,
    Left here without the light I loved so much,
    In a great tempest and with shrouds unkempt.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
    roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
    yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
    frost heaved your bones in the ground—old toilers, soil makers:
    O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)
