Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    Heaven doth with us as we with torches do,
    Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues
    Did not go forth of us, ‘twere all alike
    As if we had them not.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    A poem should be palpable and mute
    As a globed fruit,

    As old medallions to the thumb,
