Light Poem

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or poem:

    So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
    Which once he wore!
    The glory from his gray hairs gone
    Forevermore!
    John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)

    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)
