Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

    Not every light is a true light;
    To the wise the light of truth is light itself.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
    And delves the parallels in beauty’s brow,
    Feeds on the rarities of nature’s truth,
    And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
    And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand,
    Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
