Lit

Famous quotes containing the word lit:

    “The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.”
    —Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Grey Of Falloden (1862–1933)

    “We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind
    And lost the old nonchalance of the hand;
    We are but critics, or but half create,
    Timid, entangled, empty and abashed,
    Lacking the countenance of our friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
