Reflected

Famous quotes containing the word reflected:

    Sitting in that dusky wilderness, under that dark mountain, by the bright river which was full of reflected light, still I heard the wood thrush sing, as if no higher civilization could be attained. By this time the night was upon us.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    [Pantagruel] considered studying medicine, but then he reflected that it was much too irritating and gloomy a profession, and that doctors smelled of enemas like the devil.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
    By the false azure in the windowpane;
    I was the smudge of ashen fluff—and I
    Lived on, flew on, in the reflected sky.
    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
