Light Twin Engine

Famous quotes containing the words light, twin and/or engine:

“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)

“That Dali is really Norman Rockwell’s twin brother kidnapped by gypsies in babyhood.”
