Famous quotes containing the words cape and/or light:
“A solitary traveler whom we saw perambulating in the distance loomed like a giant. He appeared to walk slouchingly, as if held up from above by straps under his shoulders, as much as supported by the plain below. Men and boys would have appeared alike at a little distance, there being no object by which to measure them. Indeed, to an inlander, the Cape landscape is a constant mirage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it’s night once more.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
