Light Sensitive

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or sensitive:

    they appear youthful, rare

    as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
    of all that in the mind is fleckless, free and
    naturally to be desired.
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    For even satire is a form of sympathy. It is the way our sympathy flows and recoils that really determines our lives. And here lies the vast importance of the novel, properly handled. It can inform and lead into new places our sympathy away in recoil from things gone dead. Therefore the novel, properly handled, can reveal the most secret places of life: for it is the passional secret places of life, above all, that the tide of sensitive awareness needs to ebb and flow, cleansing and freshening.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
