Ultraviolet Light

Famous quotes containing the words ultraviolet and/or light:

    “Like ultraviolet rays memory shows to each man in the book of life a script that invisibly and prophetically glosses the text.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “But misery still delights to trace
    Its ‘semblance in another’s case.

    No voice divine the storm allay’d,
    No light propitious shone;
    When, snatch’d from all effectual aid,
    We perish’d, each alone:
    But I beneath a rougher sea,
    And whelm’d in deeper gulphs than he.”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
