Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

    [Religious establishment] is adverse to the diffusion of the light of Christianity ... [because] with an ignoble and unchristian timidity it would [be] circumscribed, with a wall of defence, against the encroachments of error.
    James Madison (1751–1836)

    Thy spotless Muse, like Mary, did contain
    The boundless Godhead; she did well disdain
    That her eternal Verse employ’d should be
    On a less subject than Eternitie;
    Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
