Faster Light

Famous quotes containing the words faster and/or light:

    Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
    Which ten times faster glides than the sun’s beams,
    Driving back shadows over low’ring hills.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But misery still delights to trace
    Its ‘semblance in another’s case.

    No voice divine the storm allay’d,
    No light propitious shone;
    When, snatch’d from all effectual aid,
    We perish’d, each alone:
    But I beneath a rougher sea,
    And whelm’d in deeper gulphs than he.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
