Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

“Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom.”
—James Wright (1927–1980)

“When I a verse shall make,
Know I have prayed thee,
For old religion’s sake,
Saint Ben, to aid me.”
