Shining

Famous quotes containing the word shining:

    When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
    Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
    Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
    Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.
    Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher (l. 1–4)

    We are born each morning, shelled upon
    A sheet of light that paves
    The palaces of sight, and brings again
    The river shining through the field of graves.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    ... if women once learn to be something themselves, that the only way to teach is to be fine and shining examples, we will have in one generation the most remarkable and glorious children.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)
