Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

“Beautiful, wide-spread,
fire upon leaf,
what meadow yields
so fragrant a leaf
as your bright leaf?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“I’m bored to extinction with Harrison.
His limericks and puns are embarrassing.
But I’m fond of the bum,
For, though dull as they come,
He makes me feel bright by comparison.”

“To thee, fair Freedom! I retire
From flattery, cards, and dice, and din:
Nor art thou found in mansions higher
Than the low cot, or humble inn.

‘Tis here with boundless pow’r I reign;
And ev’ry health which I begin
Converts dull port to bright champagne;
Such Freedom crowns it, at an inn.”
—William Shenstone (1714–1763)
