Shadows

Famous quotes containing the word shadows:

    Ah, to build, to build!
    That is the noblest art of all the arts.
    Painting and sculpture are but images,
    Are merely shadows cast by outward things
    On stone or canvas, having in themselves
    No separate existence. Architecture,
    Existing in itself, and not in seeming
    A something it is not, surpasses them
    As substance shadow.
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    The One remains, the many change and pass;
    Heaven’s light forever shines, Earth’s shadows fly;
    Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
    Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
    Until Death tramples it to fragments.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    My Love in me and I in him,
    Conjoined by love, will till abide
    Among the faithful lilies
    Till day do break, and truth do dim
    All shadows dark and cause them slide,
    According as his will is.
    William Baldwin (fl. 1547–1549)
