Famous quotes containing the words light and/or spirits:
“Dark is my day whiles her fair light I miss,
And dead my life, that wants such lively bliss.”
—Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
“But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
There’s a light and a shadow on every man
Who at last attains his lifted mark—
Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirits which glad had hailed his worth,
Sleep in oblivion.—The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
