Polarized Light

Famous quotes containing the words polarized light and/or light:

    Polarized light showed the secret architecture of bodies; and when the second-sight of the mind is opened, now one color or form or gesture, and now another, has a pungency, as if a more interior ray had been emitted, disclosing its deep holdings in the frame of things.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Serene stands the little captain,
    He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
    His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.

    Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
