Swan Electric Light

Famous quotes containing the words swan, electric and/or light:

    Love that had robbed us of immortal things,
    This little moment mercifully gave,
    Where I have seen across the twilight wave
    The swan sail with her young beneath her wings.
    George Meredith (1828–1909)

    The widest prairies have electric fences....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    and wife or husband
    who does not lock the door of the marriage
    against you, finds you
    not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
    the light of the moon on flesh and hair.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
