Famous quotes containing the words ray and/or casting:

    Our reason may prove what it will: our reason is only a feeble ray that has issued from Nature.
    Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949)

    All we know
    Is that we are a little early, that
    Today has that special, lapidary
    Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
    Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
    Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
