Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“Now God be praised, that to believing souls
Gives light in darkness, comfort in despair!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And no matter how all this disappeared,
Or got where it was going, it is no longer
Material for a poem. Its subject
Matters too much, and not enough, standing there helplessly
While the poem streaked by, its tail afire, a bad
Comet screaming hate and disaster....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
