Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“Not every light is a true light;
To the wise the light of truth is light itself.”
—Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)
“The poem goes from the poet’s gibberish to
The gibberish of the vulgate and back again.
Does it move to and fro or is it of both
At once? Is it a luminous flittering
Or the concentration of a cloudy day?”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
