Yellow Lights

Famous quotes containing the words yellow and/or lights:

    “a star
    called Wormwood rose and flickered, shattering
    bent light over the dead boiling up in the ground,
    the biting yellow their corrupted lives
    streaming to war, denying all our words.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “Glorious the northern lights astream;
    Glorious the song, when God’s the theme
    Glorious the thunder’s roar:
    Glorious hosanna from the den;
    Glorious the catholic amen;
    Glorious the martyr’s gore:

    Glorious—more glorious is the crown
    Of him that brought salvation down
    By meekness, called thy Son;
    Thou that stupendous truth believed,
    And now the matchless deed’s achieved,
    Determined, Dared, and Done.”
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
