Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    Come, and trip it as ye go
    On the light fantastic toe,
    And in thy right hand lead with thee,
    The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty;
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    It has been played once more. I think you exist only
    To tease me into doing it, on your level, and then you aren’t there

    Has set me softly down beside you. The poem is you.
