Reflected Rays

Famous quotes containing the words reflected and/or rays:

    “Summer involves going down as a steep flight of steps
    To a narrow ledge over the water. Is this it, then,
    This iron comfort, these reasonable taboos,
    Or did you mean it when you stopped? And the face
    Resembles yours, the one reflected in the water.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Thus while I sit and sigh the day
    With all his borrow’d lights away,
    Till night’s black wings do overtake me,
    Thinking on thee, thy beauties then,
    As sudden lights do sleepy men,
    So they by their bright rays awake me.”
    —Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)
