Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

“Go out of the house to see the moon, and ‘t is mere tinsel; it will not please as when its light shines upon your necessary journey. The beauty that shimmers in the yellow afternoons of October, who could ever clutch it? Go forth to find it, and it is gone: ‘t is only a mirage as you look from the windows of diligence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“Free verse leaves out the meter and makes up
For the deficiency by church intoning.
Free verse, so called, is really cherished prose....”
