Visible Light

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or light:

“When we come down into the distant village, visible from the mountain-top, the nobler inhabitants with whom we peopled it have departed, and left only vermin in its desolate streets. It is the imagination of poets which puts those brave speeches into the mouths of their heroes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Like a poet hidden
In the light of thought,
Singing hymns unbidden,
Till the world is wrought
To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
