Light Flyweight Title

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or title:

    We are born each morning, shelled upon
    A sheet of light that paves
    The palaces of sight, and brings again
    The river shining through the field of graves.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Down the road, on the right hand, on Brister’s Hill, lived Brister Freeman, “a handy Negro,” slave of Squire Cummings once.... Not long since I read his epitaph in the old Lincoln burying-ground, a little on one side, near the unmarked graves of some British grenadiers who fell in the retreat from Concord,—where he is styled “Sippio Brister,”MScipio Africanus he had some title to be called,—”a man of color,” as if he were discolored.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
