Light Verse

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or verse:

    Irrational streams of blood are staining earth;
    Empedocles has thrown all things about;
    Hector is dead and there’s a light in Troy;
    We that look on but laugh in tragic joy.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    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;
