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)

    Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.
    I will be a light thing.
    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
