Light Mild

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or mild:

    It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    The landscape was clothed in a mild and quiet light, in which the woods and fences checkered and partitioned it with new regularity, and rough and uneven fields stretched away with lawn-like smoothness to the horizon, and the clouds, finely distinct and picturesque, seemed a fit drapery to hang over fairyland. The world seemed decked for some holiday or prouder pageantry ... like a green lane into a country maze, at the season when fruit-trees are in blossom.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
