Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:
“Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”

“I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake.”
