Swan Electric Light

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

    The reason is:
    rats leave the sinking ship
    but we . . .
    we . . .
    didn’t leave,
    so the ship
    didn’t sink,
    and that’s madness,
    Lear’s song
    that’s Touchstone’s forest jest,
    that’s swan of Avon logic.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

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

    The light that was shadowed then
    Was seen to be our lives,
    Everything about us that love might wish to examine,
    Then put away for a certain length of time, until
    The whole is to be reviewed, and we turned
    Toward each other, to each other.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
