Bright Stars

Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or stars:

    Swift as a shadow, short as any dream,
    Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
    That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth,
    And, ere a man hath power to say “Behold!”
    The jaws of darkness do devour it up.
    So quick bright things come to confusion.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The stars have grooved our eyes with old persuasions
    Of love and hatred, birth,—surcease of nations . . .
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)
