Light Leaving

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or leaving:

“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)

“Thwackum was for doing justice, and leaving mercy to Heaven.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
