Light Scattered

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or scattered:

    When the lamp is shattered,
    The light in the dust lies dead;
    When the cloud is scattered,
    The rainbow’s glory is shed;
    When the lute is broken,
    Sweet tones are remembered not;
    When the lips have spoken,
    Loved accents are soon forgot.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    The important question is not, what will yield to man a few scattered pleasures, but what will render his life happy on the whole amount.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
