Famous quotes containing the word lit:

    “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)

    “Last night
    as if death had lit a pale light
    in your flesh, your flesh
    was cold to my touch, or not cold
    but cool, cooling, as if the last traces
    of warmth were still fading in you.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    “Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
