Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.
    Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)

    Stir of time, the sequence
    returning upon itself, branching
    a new way. To suffer, pains, hope.
    The attention
    lives in it as a poem lives or a song
    going under the skin of memory.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
