Distant Light

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or light:

“Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
And shall not evening call another star
Out of the infinite regions of the night,
To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
A nation among nations; and the world
Shall soon behold in many a distant port
Another flag unfurled!”
—Henry Timrod (1828–1867)

“When they turn the sun
on again I’ll plant children
under it, I’ll light up my soul
with a match and let it sing....”
