Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

“And taken by light in her arms at long and dear last
I may without fail
Suffer the first vision that set fire to the stars.”

“All ye poets of the age,
All ye witlings of the stage,
Learn your jingles to reform,
Crop your numbers to conform.
Let your little verses flow
Gently, sweetly, row by row;
Let the verse the subject fit,
Little subject, little wit.
Namby-Pamby is your guide,
Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
—Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
