Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
    From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
    Nor art thou found in mansions higher
    Than the low cot, or humble inn.

    ‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
    And ev’ry health which I begin
    Converts dull port to bright champagne;
    Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.
    William Shenstone (1714–1763)

    She speaks!
    O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art
    As glorious to this night, being o’er my head,
    As is a wingèd messenger of heaven ...
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—
    Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
