Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:
“So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
Of force must one, and forcd but one allow;
And the right; ask thy father which is she,
let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;”
—John Donne (15721631)
“Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
And delves the parallels in beautys brow,
Feeds on the rarities of natures 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 (15641616)
