Famous quotes containing the words light and/or world:
“The light of her face falls from its flower,
as a hyacinth,
hidden in a far valley,
perishes upon burnt grass.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
Less then a span:
In his conception wretched, from the womb
So to the tomb;
Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
With cares and fears.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
