Famous quotes containing the word glare:

    In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The glare of that much-mentioned brilliance, love,
    Broke out, to show
    Its bright incipience sailing above,
    Still promising to solve, and satisfy,
    And set unchangeably in order.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    The enquiring fields, courtesies
    And tribulations of the air
    Be still and give them peace:
    The girl in the gold hair
    With her young man in clover
    In shadow of the day’s glare ...
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
