Famous quotes containing the words island and/or lights:
“I should like to have seen a gallery of coronation beauties, at Westminster Abbey, confronted for a moment by this band of Island girls; their stiffness, formality, and affectation contrasted with the artless vivacity and unconcealed natural graces of these savage maidens. It would be the Venus de’ Medici placed beside a milliner’s doll.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“She is watching her country lose its evoked master shape watching
it lose
And gain get back its houses and peoples watching it bring up
Its local lights single homes lamps on barn roofs”
—James Dickey (b. 1923)
