Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    Nature made the day for exercise, work and seeing to one’s business; and ... it provides us with a candle, which is to say the bright and joyous light of the sun.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    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)
