Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

“Its quick silver bell beating, beating
And down the dark one ruby flare
Pulsing out red light like an artery,”

“No far-fetched sigh shall ever wound my breast,
Love from mine eye a tear shall never wring,
Nor in Ah me’s my whining sonnets dressed,
A libertine, fantastically I sing.
My verse is the true image of my mind,
Ever in motion, still desiring change;”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
