Lit

Famous quotes containing the word lit:

“Last night
as if death had lit a pale light
in your flesh, your flesh

but cool, cooling, as if the last traces
of warmth were still fading in you.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

Sunless, cooler—a brimming
Saucer of wax, marbly and dim—
I have lit what’s left of my life.”
—James Merrill (b. 1926)
