Distance Light Travels

Famous quotes containing the words distance, light and/or travels:

    “Small, black, as flies hanging in heat, the Boys,
    Until the distance throws them forth, their hum
    Bulges to thunder held by calf and thigh.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    “Like a poet hidden
    In the light of thought,
    Singing hymns unbidden,
    Till the world is wrought
    To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Take the instant way,
    For honor travels in a strait so narrow,
    Where one but goes abreast. Keep then the path,
    For emulation hath a thousand sons
    That one by one pursue. If you give way,
    Or hedge aside from the direct forthright,
    Like to an entered tide, they all rush by
    And leave you hindmost.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
